I’ve been delighting in @pacificnorthwesterngothic and while these aren’t taken in the trademark pnw overcast mist- I think it’s the right energy.

These are some of the dinosaurs at Prehistoric Gardens in Port Orchard, OR.

It’s corn, a little expensive (15$ for adults), and not super big- but I loved every moment of it.

that post reminded me all over again how annoyed i get with people who don't take hiking seriously when they do it

like wearing shitty shoes or not carrying enough water or thinking that their phone is a good enough emergency flashlight/radio or that they don't need to keep a basic first-aid kit on hand like people. PEOPLE.

i mean, sure, if you're doing a 0.5 mile guided hike on a well-maintained and -traveled trail then you're not likely to need safety gear but if you're going anywhere alone* then you need to be prepared for things to go sideways

*by which i mean "you as a couple/group are alone because hiking solo is extremely and should only be attempted by highly-experienced hikers who don't need to be told to be safe"

like, no, you don't need to prepare for the zombie apocalypse, but you do need to be prepared for someone to slip and sprain their ankle in an area with zero cell service. because that's hardly an outside possibility! a lot of these places have minimal cell service and when you're walking on uneven terrain, slipping and spraining your ankle is a very real threat! and something that can be very dangerous, depending on where you are! and "i slipped and sprained my ankle and now i'm trying to crawl to the nearest pocket of cell service i can find before my phone dies and the sun is setting and i'm now slowly succumbing to hypothermia and/or bears" is a really stupid way to die! when all you needed was a first-aid kit and an emergency radio! and to not be alone, that's another big one

like, there's this sense in a lot of people that we are lords and masters of nature and it can't harm us but that is ridiculously, gaspingly untrue! if you go up against mother nature in a fight, you will lose - or if you win, it will not be un-altered. human arrogance in the face of nature gets hundreds if not thousands of people killed every year, don't be another one of them

this has been an angry psa from your local nature lover
