One of the hard parts about being out of town and working is needing to grab all the needed supplies together for the trip so that when I'm there I'm not always searching for the required materials. This may enforce a new level of discipline on me. The difficult part about writing a scene with a lot of information is preparing a blend of emotion, sensory data, scenery, action which take advantage of the richness of the data. It's probably the most difficult part of writing science fiction because the precision needs to be there, but so does the imaginary flip the pulls it out of today and into tomorrow. Post-apocalyptic stories can have a combination of futuristic, current technology and even some survivalist skills. Makes it an interesting blend.

Melakwa Lake Hike
- These are some pictures taken during our Labor day weekend hike to Melakwa Lake. This hike is one of the many found in the Denny Creek recreation area in the Cascade Mountains of WA state, at the exit off I-90 bearing the name. Follow the signs to Denny Creek road, pass the campground and eventually you get to the Melakwa Lake trailhead. Total trip length 8 miles, approximately 9 hours with 2950 gain. Good stopping points at 1 mile in at slippery rocks and at the second falls about 45 minutes further. Hemlock pass is another 2.5 miles. Once you reach the top, the trail drops 1/2 a mile, 350 feet to the lake.
Mushrooms
- These photo's were taken yesterday by my husband, Bob on our day workshop on Mushrooms at the Cedar River Watershed in Washington state. See my blog about this event for more information. I don't know all the names of the mushrooms shown. The photo's were taken with a Nikon. All photo's and text copyright Robert and Sheri Harper.
