Introduction:
Another week in the books. Starting off in Reno, NV dropping my brother to fly home and picking my mom to travel for the week. The first stop for the week was a familiar one, Yosemite N.P., CA. After Yosemite, we made our way to San Francisco to see the Golden Gate Bridge (For my U.P. readers, the Mackinac Bridge is cooler). Another notable stop while in Silicon Valley was going to Apple and seeing their new headquarters. Continuing north we stopped by the Redwood N.P. and looked at a lot very tall trees. After the Redwoods, we entered Oregon and went to Crater Lake N.P.; It is very unique and very blue. Passing through Portland, OR and resting for the evening in historic Astoria, OR (it is the oldest American settlement west of the Rockey Mountains). Taking HWY 1 north through Washington we made it to Olympic N.P. and walked the beaches of the Pacific Northwest. The last stop for the week was Mt. Rainier N.P.; Mt. Rainier is huge, beating most of the mountains in Colorado for summit height. This coming week I’ll be in Whistler B.C. riding my bike at the Whistler Bike Park.

Sticker Design of the Week:
No design this week, I have been working a freelance project for a potential client.
Stickers are now for sale! As of now, there is only one design in stock but I plan on having more designs in stock in the future. One dollar from every sale will be donated to the Leave No Trace non-profit (more info here). I decided that since I'm using and enjoying public land, I should also be doing something to keep the land clean and enjoyable for everyone.
