Got in some mountain based therapy with a buddy I've known and adventured with since high school- 47 years give or take.

40 degrees means clear wet roads. narrowing some after the pavement ends and potholes start popping.

Baker lake is down 20' plus as usual for this time of year, making space for spring run off and atmospheric river flows.
Mt Baker has almost all the rock cliff areas covered in fresh snow, right at 100" at the ski area, they get up to 500" of snow some years.
It's always very quiet in winter, a perfect spot to go for a 1/2 mile walk and set up a little ultra light chair to watch the sun set, reminisce and drink in the ever changing lighting and fog wanderings.
