Chinook Bend
Yesterday ended up being a pretty busy day... to the point where I nearly hit 18,000 steps for the first time since I got the FitBit. I also, apparently, seriously overdid it with my shoulders (this sort of thing is why I added the physical therapy exercises to my goals this year) and woke up this morning more sore than I've been in a long time. I took some ibuprofen and went back to sleep... and, unfortunately, ended up sleeping through church. It looked like it was going to be a lazy, recuperating kind of day. Not a horrible thing, considering ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rackham starts his new job tomorrow!
Anyway, it was a bit after 11:00 and I'd just woken up the second time, feeling a bit better, although still a somewhat stiff and sore, when it came to our attention that a recently published Geocache *still* hadn't been found (it had popped up the night before and we were sure someone would have gotten it early this morning). It wasn't too far south of us, down in Chinook Bend Natural Area along the Snoqualmie River, so we swapped our pajamas for something warmer and headed on down. It was a bit of a muddy tromp out to the cache, but relatively easy to find... and, despite the rain, was rather beautiful out there today. It also turned out to be a good thing to get out and get moving... the shoulder is still sore, but a lot less stiff than it had been.
I took a number of photos with my phone (we were in enough of a hurry that I failed to grab a camera), and I nearly went with one that I took of the bridge out near Carnation, but I think I've posted one of it before... and the beaver dam was really quite cool (yes, that's really a small creek that's built up into a pond behind it). If you look around in the background, you can see some of the trees they chewed through in order to get more stuff for their dam.
