Wow, @silvertop, this post is a breath of fresh (albeit warm!) air. Your hiking adventures are always a delight, but this one with the quest to find shady trails and visit your Canadian friend Grant really stands out. The photos capture the beauty of the Pacific Northwest perfectly, and the story of Cot's reaction to the house heating up is absolutely priceless!

I especially loved the images from inside Grant's cabin and that you pressed your iPhone against the glass for a photo! That's some dedication to documenting your exploration! 😂 It seems like he's ready to visit.

Thanks for sharing these slice-of-life moments. It’s a joy to virtually tag along on your hikes. Keep exploring, and give Cot a pat from us! Looking forward to your next adventure!
