I've Got That Sinking Feeling
Anyone living on the water can tell you about tides, winds, and the combination of both. Squalls are a common occurrence when living on the water. To be more accurate, squalls can happen anywhere. If you look up the definition of squall, you’ll see that it is a sudden and violent gust of wind or worse - a localized storm that brings heavy precipitation.

The Power of Water
After a relatively brief yet painfully long hiatus, I was able to get back to hiking and exploring the DMV area. The weather was ideal for a challenging hike, mostly cloudy and about 70 degrees, but the hike I chose wasn’t going to be all that challenging. My boyfriend finally agreed to come with me, after what felt like months of asking every weekend since I sold my car. I wanted him to come with me for quality time together but I mostly needed a ride. With such moderate weather on my side, I chose a hike that was less than two miles and climbed less than 150 feet in elevation to be sure I didn't sour the experience for him. We drove 40 minutes to Prince William National Forest and took the scenic drive around the park to find the nearest lot to the trail and get a lay of the land.

A Walk through the Valley
One could never imagine that magic existed in this small town of Sutherlin, Oregon. All one had to do to access it was to cross the rickety cattle guard that separated the public from the secret valley. There are two paths to choose from when stepping through the portal. One would take you on a journey through the grassy valley where mice scamper from the watchful eyes of hawks to the looming forests where the family of woodpeckers reside after a full breakfast at the local bird feeders. The other path takes you across to a different terrain with cascading waterfalls and hidden caves where tiny treasures can be found. Both paths are tempting, but the one that beckons the curious traveler is the one that calls the loudest.
