4 weeks ago You know I'm a big fan of climbing Badger Mountain. With the change of the seasons I always get surprises. I shared the picture of my snake encounter yesterday. Here are the wildflowers I caught earlier this week.
4 weeks ago I ran into this example of Richland fauna while hiking Badger Mountain a few days ago. We asked you about the WILDEST thing you've seen up there. Here's what you said:
March 27, 2013 The Badger Mountain area is the setting this Friday & Saturday for a BIG endurance challenge. McCurley Integrity Subaru presents for the second-year-in-a-row of this third annual "Badger Mountain Challenge".
March 26, 2013 I've done 250-plus round trips on Badger and this morning was the FIRST time I had even noticed mosquitoes? Keeping my eyes on the ground while climbing the 'steps' there were a few mosquitoes at every one, then hiked through loosely populated clusters from time to time up to a couple hundred yards from the top
March 15, 2013 St. Patrick's day was the impetus for a goal to make up for NOT being true to my New Year's Resolution of getting into better condition. What better incentive to hike up Badger 10 days-in-a-row then to have a self-rewarded pint of Guinness to work towards, apparently for me, none as I completed the 10th hike this morning!
Since 2008 I have enjoyed over 250 round-trips on every trail Badger Mountain has and I thought that was pretty good but there are hikers that make that accomplishment minor in comparison
March 6, 2013 I've been dissatisfied with my lack of commitment to get conditioned as I had resolved to do in this new year. A little inspiration was called for and I always get inspired when hiking Badger mountain
January 30, 2013 Sunday's hike up Badger was a sun-drenched joy.
December 27, 2012 It was the first time up Badger Mountain for Kerry and the first time up for me in snow ALL the way after more then 200 times up, but Tucker and Jaime from West Richland had the right idea. They used a sled
December 13, 2012 A year of weight loss has inspired me to fold 'conditioning' into my Life Style. I am an avid fan of Hiking Up Badger Mountain but have gone up infrequently in this past year. As a Christmas present to me I have set as a goal 12 - Days Up Badger to Christmas Day
