Another good hike this afternoon at Stub Stewart State Park. Here's a polaroid I found on the ground near the Banks Vernonia Trail: When I looked up, I was standing in the exact spot where they took and dropped the snapshot. That was a fun little loop to be standing…

Okay so I got a little tired of lugging the big Vitamix back and forth from home to the Airstream and back again, so I did a little research and came up with an alternative. I wanted something compact that could do our smoothies and some blended soups and salsa,…
