Nearly everywhere in the USA is seeing hotter than normal temperatures right now – except for the #PacificNorthwest.

Forex, here in the North Cascades temperatures are dropping below freezing overnight for the next few nights and the forecast is for snow tonight.

Instead we got our hotter than normal temperatures for three weeks in January.

#ClimateChange is really screwing up weather patterns everywhere, ya know?

Last night the #weather forecast for today was early morning light rain, followed by cloudy skies.

Well, I got the clouds and the rain but someone didn't get the message on 'light': it came down in a deluge from about 3:00 (woke me with the sound) until about an hour ago.

In other news, I stuffed some pork and finely chopped onions into a small slow cooker to make BBQ pulled pork tonight. I've got enough in there for dinner and to freeze a bunch for future meals.

We’re training alpacas for the Utah backcountry! 🏔️🦙

We are officially documenting our journey of training these amazing animals to be our hiking and camping companions. We’re currently a year into building our off-grid property in the Sanpete Valley, and while we’re still living in our campers, the ranch life is in full swing.

We just posted our first video. It's called "A Quiet Beginning" and is just a mini-intro. We'll be posting weekly content.

If your feed feels a little noisy, we invite you to step into our world. Our videos are a deep breath of unfiltered calm—no talking and no rush. Just the sounds of the "Woof Pack," the wind through the high-mountain valley, and our alpacas grazing.

Subscribe and keep an eye on us as we grow and eventually head from the pasture to the peaks:
