Spent the last few days backpacking on Hood with the girls. We finished The Lightening Thief in a mega reading session before we hiked out and agreed in order of best to worst: book, musical, movie. I’ve nailed the Ares voice - it’s kind of a Sam Elliot / bad biker homage. The blown downs going up Elk Cove trail were demoralizing - but we dug deep, ate some candy, and powered through. We set up base camp and then played up in the snowfields. The flowers are spectacular right now!
