How crazy was the rain? It absolutely bucketed down for a good while and has now just completely stopped. Mt Doug seems like a bit of a dude! Good times!

It was raining super hard this morning. But it eased off around 11:30 or so, and welcomed us and the pups into the outdoors.
Mt Doug was a very welcoming host. It was actually kinda rad -- my first time out there. You start the (admittedly short) hike going through the base where it's overrun w HUGE almost-oldgrowth Douglas Fir trees. And then you start getting into groves of Gary Oak trees, and then some of the amazing yet somewhat daunting Arbutus trees. Then it started to get a bit dry and almost desert-like (though, lush, green ferns were always within eyesight).
Never really seen so many 'biomes' all in such a small area. It was super cool.
Good times indeed!
Been a while since I've seen some cool PNW hikes, or stories of "almost making it to the summit of something" coming outta you. What's crackalackin' these days? Hope the new job is treating you well!
