Today I went wandering around one of my favorite places in Portland: Mt Tabor.

Incase you didn't Mt Tabor is an extinct volcano! Just whoa! 

I walked where once upon a time there there was probably nothing more than lava.

Now there are trees so tall you can't help but think you've walked into a cathedral. 

It's days like this made me lust for the Pacific Northwest.

This is Cascadia. 

The misty rain against my face. 

The smell of the Great Sequoia trees blowing through the air.

The sound of mud being stomped below.

Baby mushrooms covering the forest floor.

The purple and gold leaves of dying plants look like something straight from Alice's wonderland. 

The tree limbs look like fingers of skeletons. 

The skies were grey but full of light. The clouds moved quickly.

Never once did I feel soaked. 

Today was a great adventure.

Thank you Mt Tabor for making me feel at home.
