This past Saturday, while Jen was taking her motorcycle course, I continued our weekend habit of peak-bagging with the ascent of Mt McCauland near Valhalla lake. 3.5 miles and 2,000 ft of elevation later, we arrived at the top to a grand view of the lake, set amidst the wide range of the cascades.
On our way home, a new (to me) tradition was born - a stop at Vick’s burger & shake shack, to recover the lost calories from the hike and ‘pre-dinner’ before we made the drive home.
