We completed a truly historic road trip in June, 2023. We traveled from our little hilltop in eastern Washington to Denver, to the largest, most comprehensive, and truly eclectic psychedelic conference, sponsored by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a nonprofit working to raise awareness and understanding of psychedelic
Western Washington Weekend Adventure
Nature is healing, and while we live in nature on our beautiful hilltop, it’s always fun to explore new areas — and to actually just rest and enjoy; when we’re home, we’re often working on the health of our forest… and there should always be time for play! It’s kind
Two Washington Spring Getaways to Share
This blog post starts a series in which we will be sharing a crazy summer of travel — most of it for spending time in nature and/or with people we love. Self-care is essential and time in nature is one of our healing modalities. Our spring is quickly moving into

Having Winter Fun on the Ferry County Rail-Trail
We love nature; we love working and playing outside, though it is a bit harder to do in the winter… which is why it’s wonderful when organizations like the Ferry County Rail-Trail partners put on free events like the one we attended this past weekend. In support of Ran’s new
The Blog is Back … to a Degree: Wallace, ID
Well, I guess you could say we’ve been pretty busy the last year and a half — finishing the house construction, managing our forestland, and working in various jobs and volunteering. No excuse, but we really had no time for the blog. We feel a little badly, as we have
Building on Raw Land: Framing and Other Projects
We’re building on raw land in Eastern Washington… in 2020… fighting the bizarre results from the COVID pandemic, including shortages of both labor and supplies, price-gouging by some contractors, and delays in getting inspections… but the good news is that the building is moving forward, albeit a bit slower and
Building on Raw Land: Taking Breaks, Exploring Surrounding Area
All work and no play just doesn’t work, even when living and building on 30 acres on a forested hilltop… so we purposely tried to take breaks about once a week to explore nearby adventures, which means mainly hiking and seeking out fresh fruit! Being out in nature was also
