Twelve Months on Hurricane Ridge Begins
January 1, 2025. Practice typing 2025 instead of 2024. A new year. A new book. Actually, a new photo essay. Twelve Months on Hurricane Ridge, a place that provides panoramas of the heart of the Olympic Mountain Range, assuming the clouds cooperate and the road is open. This will be my 14th Twelve Month series,…

Firewatcher’s origin story has been covered over on my oldest blog (Firewatcher Launched). That was the paperback. The ebook…
