When I turned twenty-one in 1994, I embarked on a 500 mile solo hike on the Pacific Crest Trail across the state of Washington.  The Tread of My Soul is a memoir-meets-travelogue written from the trail.  Originally self published and shared with only a handful of family and friends, I recently dusted off the manuscript with the intention of sharing it with a new generation, on the 30th anniversary of its completion. Among black bears, ravens and Indian paintbrush, I grappled with the meaning of life while traversing the spine of the Cascade range with a handful of pocket edition classics in tow. Quotes from sacred texts, poets, and naturalists punctuate a coming of age tale contemplated in the wilderness.What follows is Part 1 of the book, squared off into four long Substack posts. For this first post, I'm also exclusively including Pacific Crest Trail Soundwalk, featuring a binaural field recording captured while hiking the first few miles on the Pacific Crest Trail up out of the Columbia Gorge in Washington. (If you haven't already, feel free to tap that play button at the top of the post.) The 26-minute composition cycles a triad of parts inspired by the letters PCT: part one in Phrygian mode (in E), part two in the key of C, and part three with Tritone substitutions. The instrumentation is outlined with Pianet electric piano, and colored in with synthesizer and intriguing pads built with a vaguely Appalachian mood in mind. It's on the quieter side, in terms of wildlife, but all in all, I think it compliments the reading. It concludes with a pretty frog chorus so, like the book, I'm making it unrestricted, in the hope of enticing some readers to stick with it to the end. If you prefer, you can find The Tread of My Soul in ebook format available for free right now on Apple Books or Amazon Kindle Store (free with Kindle Unlimited, points, or $2.99). If you read it and like it, please feel free to leave a review to help others find it. Thank you. So, without further ado, here we go:The Tread of My SoulComing of Age on the Pacific Crest Trailby Chad CrouchACT 1(AT RISE we see TEACHER and STUDENTS in an art studio. It is fall term; the sun is just beginning to set when class begins. Warm light washes the profiles of eight classmates. The wood floors are splashed with technicolor constellations of paint.)TEACHERHello. Welcome to class. I find role taking a tiresome practice so we'll skip over that and get to the assignment. Here I have a two-inch square of paper for you. I would like you to put your soul on it. The assignment is due in five minutes. No further explanations will be given.STUDENT #1(makes eye contact with a STUDENT #4, a young woman. She wears a perplexed smile on her face.)TEACHERHere you go.                                    (hands out squares of paper.)(People begin to work. Restlessness gives way to an almost reverence, except STUDENT #5 is scribbling to no end. The Students' awareness of others fades imperceptibly inward.  Five minutes pass quickly.)TEACHERTeacher: Are you ready? I'm interested to see what you've come up with.                                    (scuffle of some stools; the sound of a classroom reclaiming itself.)TEACHERWhat have you got there?STUDENT #1Well, I used half of the time just thinking. I was looking at my pencil and I thought…                                    (taps pencil on his knee, you see it is a mechanical model)this will never do the trick. The idea of soul seemed too intense to be grasped with only graphite. So 1 poked a pin sized hole in the paper and wrote:                                    (reading voice)“Hold paper up to sun, look into hole for soul.” That's all the further I got.TEACHER                                    (looking at student #2)And you?STUDENT #2                                    (smiles)Um, I didn't know what to do so all I have is a few specks where I was tapping my pen while I was thinking. This one…                                    (she points to a dot)is all, um, all fuzzy because I was ready to draw something and I hesitated so the ink just ran…(Students nod sympathetically. Attention goes to STUDENT #3)STUDENT #3I couldn't deal with just one little blank square.                                    (holds paper up and flaps it around, listlessly)So I started dividing.                                    (steadies and turns paper to reveal a graph.)Now, I have lots of squares in which to put my soul in. I think of a soul as being multifaceted.TEACHEROkay.  Thank you.  Next…                                    (looking at student #4)STUDENT #4                                    (without hesitation)I just stepped on it.(holds paper up to reveal the tread of a shoe sole in a multicolor print.)The tread of my soul.•     •     •            The writing that follows seems to have many of the same attributes as the students' responses to the problem posed in the preceding scene. While I have a lot more paper to work with, the problem remains the same: how do I express myself?  How do I express the intangible and essential part of me that people call a soul?  What is it wrapped up in?  What doctrines, ideologies and memories help give it a shape?            I guess I identify mostly with Student #4. Her shoe-print “Tread of My Soul” alludes to my own process: walking over 500 miles on The Pacific Crest Trail from Oregon To Canada in the Cascade Mountain Range in Washington. In trying to describe my soul I found that useful to be literal. Where my narrative dips into memoir or philosophy I tried not to hesitate or overthink things.  I tried to lay it all out.            Student #1's solution was evident in my own problem solving in how I constantly had to look elsewhere; into nature, into literature, and into symbology to even begin to bring out the depth of what I was thinking and feeling. Often the words of spiritual classics and of poetry are seen through my writing as if looking through a hole. I can only claim originality in where I poke the holes.            As for Student #2, I am afraid that my own problem solving doesn't evoke enough of her charm. For as much as I wanted to be thoughtful, I wanted also to be open and unstudied, tapping my pen. What I see has emerged, however, is at times argumentative. In retrospect I see that I had no recourse, really. My thoughts on God and Jesus were molded in a throng of letters, dialogues, experiences, and personal studies prior to writing this.Finally, in the winter of my twenty-first year, as I set down to transcribe this book, I realize how necessary it was to hike. Student #3 had the same problem. The soul is complex and cannot fit into a box. Hiking gave me a cadence to begin to answer the question what is my soul? The trail made me mindful. There was the unceasing metaphor of the journey: I could only reach my goal incrementally. This tamed my writing sometimes. It wandered sometimes and I was at ease to let it. I had more than five minutes and a scrap of paper. I had each step.•     •     •            The Bridge of the Gods looks like a behemoth Erector set project over the Columbia River spanning the natural border of Washington and Oregon. My question: what sort of Gods use Erector sets?  Its namesake actually descends from an event in space and time; a landslide. The regional natives likely witnessed, in the last millennium, a landslide that temporarily dammed the Columbia effectually creating a bridge—The Bridge of the Gods. I just finished reading about why geologists think landslides are frequent in the gorge. Didn't say anything about Gods. How we name things, as humankind, has something to do with space and time doesn't it? Where once we call something The Bridge of the Gods it has been contemporarily reduced to landslide. We have new Gods now, and they compel us to do the work with erector sets. Or perhaps I mistook the name: It doesn't necessarily mean Gods made it. Perhaps Gods dwell there or frequent it. Or maybe it is a passageway that goes where the Gods go. It seems to me that if the Gods wanted to migrate from, say, Mt. Rainier in Washington to Mt. Hood in Oregon, they would probably follow the Cascade Ridge down to the Bridge of the Gods and cross there.            If so, I think I should like to see one, or maybe a whole herd of them like the caribou I saw in Alaska earlier this summer, strewn across the snow field like mahogany tables. Gods, I tend to think are more likely to be seen in the high places or thereabouts, after all,The patriarchs and prophets of the Old Testament behold the Lord face to face in the high places. For Moses it was Mount Sinai and Mount Nebo; in the New Testament it is the Mount of Olives and Golgotha. I went so far as to discover this ancient symbol of the mountain in the pyramid constructions of Egypt and Chaldea. Turning to the Aryans, I recalled those obscure legends of the Vedas in which the Soma—the 'nectar' that is in the 'seed of immortality' is said to reside in its luminous and subtle form 'within the mountain.' In India the Himalayas are the dwelling place of the Siva, of his spouse 'the Daughter of the Mountain,' and the 'Mothers' of all worlds, just as in Greece the king of the gods held court on Mt Olympus.- Rene Daumal, Mount Analogue            These days Gods don't go around making landslides every time they want to cross a river, much less perform a Jesus walking on the water miracle. That would be far too suspicious. Gods like to conceal themselves. A popular saying is "God helps those who help themselves." I think if Moses were alive today, Jehovah would have him build a bridge rather than part the waters.            Someone said, "Miracles take a lot of hard work." This is true.•     •     •Day 1.Bridge of the Gods.Exhausted, I pitch my tent on the side of the trail in the hot afternoon and crawl into to take a nap to avoid the annoying bugs.My sweat leaves a dead person stamp on the taffeta floor.Heavy pack.  A vertical climb of 3200 ft.Twelve miles. I heaved dry tears and wanted to vomit.Dinner and camp on a saddle.Food hard to stomach.View of Adams and gorge.            Perhaps I am a naive pilgrim as I cross over that bridge embarking on what I suppose will be a forty day and night journey on the Pacific Crest Trail with the terminus in Canada. My mother gave me a box of animal crackers before my departure so I could leave “a trail of crumbs to return by.” The familiar classic Barnum's red, yellow and blue box dangles from a carabineer of my expedition backpack            As I cross over the bridge I feel small, the pack bearing down on my hips, legs, knees, feet. I look past my feet, beyond the steel grid decking of the bridge, at the water below.  Its green surface swirls. I wonder how many gallons are framed in each metal square and how many flow by in the instant I look?How does the sea become the king of all streams?Because it is lower than they!Hence it is the king of all streams.-Lao-tzu, Tao Teh Ching            On the Bridge of the Gods I begin my quest, gazing at my feet superimposed on the Columbia's waters flowing toward the ocean. Our paths are divergent. Why is it that the water knows without a doubt where to go; to its humble Ocean King that embraces our planet in blue? I know no such path of least resistance to and feel at one with humankind. To the contrary, when we follow our paths of least resistance—following our family trees of religion, learning cultural norms—we end up worshipping different Gods. It is much easier for an Indian to revere Brahman than it is for I. It is much easier for me to worship Christ than it is for an Indian. These paths are determined geographically and socially.             It's not without trepidation that I begin my journey. I want to turn from society and turn to what I believe to be impartial: the sweeping landscape.            With me I bring a small collection of pocket books representing different ideas of the soul. (Dhammapada, Duino Elegies, Tao Teh Ching, Song of Myself, Walden, Mount Analogue, and the Bible.) It isn't that I want to renounce my faith.  I turn to the wilderness, to see if I can't make sense of it all.            I hike north. This is a fitting metaphor. The sun rises in the east and arcs over the south to the west. To the north is darkness. To the north my shadow is cast. Instinctively I want to probe this.•     •     •Day 2.Hiked fourteen miles.Three miles on a ridge and five descending brought me to Rock Creek.I bathed in the pool. Shelves of fern on a wet rock wall.Swaths of sunlight penetrating the leafy canopy.Met one person.Read and wrote and slept on a bed of moss.Little appetite.Began another ascent.Fatigued, I cried and cursed out at the forest.I saw a black bear descending through the brushBefore reaching a dark campsite.            I am setting records of fatigue for myself. I am a novice at hiking. Here is the situation: I have 150 miles to walk. Simple arithmetic agrees that if I average 15 miles a day it will take me 10 days to get to the post office in White Pass where I have mailed myself more food. I think I am carrying a sufficient amount of food to sustain my journey, although I'm uncertain because I have never backpacked for more than three consecutive days. The greatest contingency, it seems, is my strength: can I actually walk 15 miles a day with 60 pounds on my back in the mountains? Moreover, can I continue to rise and fall as much as I have? I have climbed a vertical distance of over 6000 feet in the first two days.            I begin to quantify my movement in terms of Sears Towers. I reason that if the Sears Tower is 1000 feet, I walked the stairs of it up and down almost 5 times. I am developing a language of abstract symbols to articulate my pain.            I dwell on my condition. I ask myself, are these thoughts intensified by my weakness or am I feeding my weakness with my thoughts?            I begin to think about God. Many saints believed by impoverishing their physical self, often by fasting, their spiritual self would increase as a result. Will my spirit awake as my body suffers?            I feet the lactic acid burning my muscle tissue. I begin to moan aloud. I do this for some time until, like a thunderclap, I unleash voice in the forest.            I say, "I CAN'T do this,” and "I CAN do this," in turn. I curse and call out "Where are you God? I've come to find you." Then I see the futility of my words. Scanning the forest: all is lush, verdant, solemn, still. My complaint is not registered here.And all things conspire to keep silent about us, half out of shame perhaps, half as unutterable hope.- Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies            I unstrap my pack and collapse into heap on the trail floor, curled up. I want to be still like the forest.            The forest makes a noise: Crack, crack, crack.            I think a deer must be traversing through the brush. I turn slowly to look in the direction of the sound. It's close. Not twenty yards off judging from the noise.            I pick myself up to view the creature, and look breathlessly. It's just below me in the ravine. Its shadowy black body dilates subtly as it breathes. What light falls on it seems to be soaked up, like a hole cut in the forest in the shape of an animal. It turns and looks at me with glassy eyes. It claims all my senses—I see, hear, feel, smell, taste nothing else--as I focus on the bear.And so I hold myself back to swallow the call note of my dark sobbing.Ah, whom can we ever turn to in our need?Not angels, not humans and already the knowing animals are aware that we are really not at home in our interpreted world.- Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies            Remembering what I read to do when encountering a bear, I raise my arms, making myself bigger. "Hello bear," I say, "Go away!"            With the rhythm of cracking branches, it does.•     •     •Day 3.Hiked thirteen miles.Descended to Trout Creek, thirsty.Met a couple en route to Lake Tahoe.Bathed in Panther Creek.Saw the wind brushing the lower canopy of leaves on a hillside.A fly landed on the hairs of my forearm and I,Complacent,Dreamt.            I awake in an unusual bed: a stream bed. A trickle of clear water ran over stones beneath me, down my center, as if to bisect me. And yet I was not wet. What, I wonder, is the significance of this dream?            The August sun had been relentless thus far on my journey. The heat combined with the effort involved in getting from one source of water to the next makes an arrival quite thrilling. If the water is deep enough for my body, even more so:I undress... hurry me out of sight of land, cushion me soft... rock me in billowy drowse Dash me with amorous wet...- Walt Whitman, Song of Myself            There is something electrifying and intensely renewing about swimming naked in a cold creek pool or mountain lake.I got up early and bathed in the pond; that was a religious exercise, and one of the best things I did. They say that characters were engraven on the bathing tub of King Tching-thang to this effect; "renew thyself completely each day; do it again and again and forever again."- Henry David Thoreau, Walden            Is bathing, then, a spiritual exercise?            When I was baptized on June 15, 1985 in the tiled pool of our chapel in the Portland suburbs, I thought surely as I was submerged something extraordinary would happen, such as the face of Jesus would appear to me in the water. And I did do it—I opened my eyes under water— but saw only the blur of my pastor's white torso and the hanging ferns that framed the pool. I wondered: shouldn't a ceremony as significant as this feel more than just wet? I'm guessing that most children with exposure to religion often keep their eyes open for some sort of spectacular encounter with God, be it to punish or affirm them. (As a child, I remember sitting in front of the television thinking God could put a commercial on for heaven if he wanted to.)            Now, only ten years after I was baptized, I still keep my eyes open for God, though not contextually the same, not within a religion, not literally.            And when I swim in a clear creek pool, I feel communion, pure and alive. The small rounded stones are reminders of the ceaseless touch of water. Their blurry shapes embrace me in a way that the symbols and rites of the church fail to.I hear and behold God in every objectYet I understand God not in the least.-Walt Whitman, Song of Myself            And unlike the doctrines and precepts of organized religion, I have never doubted my intrinsic bond to water.And more-For greater than all the joysOf heaven and earthGreater still than dominionOver all worlds,Is the joy of reaching the stream.- Dhammapada, Sayings of the Buddha•     •     •Day 4.Hiked fourteen miles. Climbed to a beautiful ridge.Signs, yellow and black posted every 50 feet: "Experimental Forest"Wound down to a campground where I met three peopleAs I stopped for lunch."Where does this trail go to?" he says. "Mexico," I say."Ha Ha," says he.Camped at small Green Lake.            My body continues to evolve. My hair and fingernails grow and grow, and right now I've got four new teeth trying to find a seat in my mouth.            I turned twenty-one on August sixth. On August sixth, 1945 a bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. The world lost more people than it made that day. When I was born, I suspect we gained a few.            I'm an adult now, and I'm not sure where it happened or why. I wonder if someone had to stamp something somewhere because of it? A big red stamp that says "ADULT".  It was a blind passage for me—just like those persons who evaporated at ground zero on August sixth, 49 years ago.            I do feel like I just evaporated into adulthood. I am aware of the traditional ceremony of turning twenty-one. Drinking. Contemporary society commemorates becoming an adult with this token privilege. Do you have any idea how fast alcohol evaporates? I am suggesting this: One's response to this rite rarely affords any resolution or insight into growth. Our society commemorates the passage from child to adult with a fermented beverage.            I wanted to more deliberate about becoming an adult. Hence the second reason (behind a spiritual search) for this sojourn into the wilderness. I took my lead from the scriptures:And he was in the desert forty days... He was with the wild animal and the angels attended him.- Mark 1:13            Something about those forty days prepared Jesus for what we know of his adult life.I also took my lead from Native Americans. Their rite of passage is called a vision quest, wherein the youth goes alone into the depth of nature for a few days to receive some sort of insight into being.            I look around me. I am alone here in the woods a few days after my birthday. Why? To discover those parts of me that want to be liberated. To draw the fragrant air into my lungs. To feel my place in nature.…beneath each footfall with resolution.I want to own every atom of myself in the present and be able to say:Look I am living. On what? NeitherChildhood nor future grows any smaller....Superabundant being wells up in my heart.- Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies•     •     •Day 5.Hiked to Bear Lake and swam.Saw over a dozen people. Eighteen miles.Watched raven fly from tree and listened.Found frogs as little as my thumbnail.Left Indian Heaven.            Surprise.  My body is becoming acclimated to long distance hiking. I know because when I rest it is a luxury rather than a necessity.            The light is warmer and comes through the forest canopy at an acute angle from the west, illuminating the trunks of this relatively sparse old growth stand. I am laying on my back watching a raven at his common perch aloft in a dead Douglas fir.            It leaps into its court and flap its wings slowly, effortlessly navigating through the old wood pillars. The most spectacular sense of this, however, is the sound: a loud, slow, hollow thrum: Whoosh whoosh, whoosh....  It's as if the interstices between each pulse are too long, too vacant to keep the creature airborne. Unlike its kind, this raven does not speak: there are no loud guttural croaks to be heard.            Northwest coastal tribes such as the Kwakiutl thought the croaks of a raven were prophetic and whoever could interpret them was a seer. Indeed, the mythic perception of ravens to be invested with knowledge and power is somewhat universal.           My raven is silent. And this is apt, for I tend to think the most authentic prophecies are silent, or near to it.Great sound is silent.- Lao Tzu, Tao Teh Ching            The contour of that sound and silence leaves a sublime impression on me.•     •     •Day 6.Hiked twelve miles.Many uphill, but not most.Met several people.One group looked like they were enjoying themselves—two families.I spent the afternoon reading my natural history book on a bridge.Voles (forest mice) relentlessly made efforts to infiltrate my food bag during the night.            I am reading about how to call a tree a “Pacific Silver Fir” or an “Engelmann Spruce” or “Western Larch” and so on. If something arouses my curiosity on my walk, I look in my natural history book to see if it has anything to say.            Jung said, "Sometimes a tree can teach you more than a book can."            Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha was enlightened beneath a fig tree.            I read that a 316-year-old Ponderosa Pine east of Mt. Jefferson bears scars from 18 forest fires. Surely that tree taught us one thing a book couldn't.  All things are clues. Everything is part of a complex tapestry of causality.            The grand design behind these mountains has something to do with plate tectonics. Beneath me the oceanic plate is diving beneath the continental at twenty to sixty degrees putting it well under the coastline to where it partially melts and forms magma. This has been happening for millions of years. Every once and a while this magma channels its way up to the surface, cools and turns into igneous rock. Again and again, this happens. Again and again, and yet again until a mountain is made; a stratovolcano.            Meanwhile, on top, water, glaciers, wind, and sun are trying to carry the mountains away grain by grain. Geologic time is as incomprehensible as it would be to imagine someone's life by looking at his or her gravestone. These mountains are gravestones.            Plants fight to keep the hillsides together. Plants and trees do. But every summer some of those trees, somewhere, are going to burn. Nature will not tolerate too much fuel. New trees will grow to replace those lost. Again and again. Eighteen times over and there we find our tree, a scarred Ponderosa Pine in the tapestry.            And every summer the flowers will bloom. The bees will come to pollinate them and cross-pollinate them: next year a new color will emerge.            And every summer the mammals named homo-sapiens-sapiens will come to the mountains to cut down trees, hike trails, and to put up yellow and black signs that read Boundary Experimental Forest U.S.F.S. placed evenly 100 yards apart so hikers are kept excessively informed about boundaries.            Here I am in the midst of this slow-motion interplay of nature. I walk by thousands of trees daily. Sometimes I see just one, sometimes the blur of thousands. It is not so much that a tree teaches me more than a book; rather it conjures up in me the copious leagues of books unwritten. And, I know somewhere inside that I participate. What more hope could a tree offer?  What more hope could you find in a gravestone?•     •     •Day 7.Hiked twenty miles in Alpine country near Mt Adams.More flowers—fields of them. Saw owl. Saw elk.Wrote near cascading creek.Enjoyed walking. Appetite is robust.Camped at Lave Spring.Saw six to ten folks.Didn't talk too much.            Before I was baptized, during the announcements, there was a tremendous screech culminating in a loud cumbf! This is a sound which can be translated here as metal and glass crumpling and shattering in an instant to absorb the forces of automobiles colliding.            In the subsequent prayer, the pastor made mention of the crash, which happened on the very same corner of the chapel, and prayed to God that He might spare those people of injury.            As it turns the peculiarly memorable sound was that of our family automobile folding into itself, and it was either through prayer or her seat belt that no harm came to my sister who was driving it.            Poor thing. She just was going to get some donuts. Do you know why? Because I missed my appointment with baptism. There is time in most church services when people go to the front to (1.) confess their sin, (2.) confess their faith in Christ as their only personal savior, and (3.) to receive Him. This is what is known as the “Altar Call”. To the embarrassment of my parents (for I recall the plan was for one of them to escort me to the front) the Alter Call cue—a specific prayer and hymn—was missed and I sat expectant till the service end. The solution was to attend the subsequent service and try harder.            I don't recall my entire understanding of God and Jesus then, at age eleven, but I do remember arriving at a version of Pascal's reductive decision tree that there are four possibilities regarding my death and salvation:1. Jesus is truly the savior of mankind and I claim him and I go to heaven, or2. Jesus is truly the savior of mankind and I don't claim him and I end up in hell, or3. Jesus isn't the savior of mankind and I die having lived a somewhat virtuous life in trying to model myself after him, or4. Jesus isn't the savior of mankind and I didn't believe it anyhow.            My sister, fresh with an Oregon drivers license, thought one dose of church was enough for her and, being hungry, went out for donuts and failed to yield.Cumbf!            Someone came into the chapel to inform us. We all went out to the accident. The cars were smashed and askew, and my sister was a bawling, rocking little lump on the side of the street. We attended to her, calmed her, and realized there was yet time for me to get baptized. We went into the church and waited patiently for the hymn we had mentally earmarked and then I was baptized. I look back on the calamities of that day affectionately.Prize calamities as your own body.- Lao Tzu, Tao Teh Ching            Those events that surrounded the ritual decry a ceremony so commonplace one often misses the extraordinariness of it; of humanity; the embarrassment of my parents; the frustration and impetuous flight of my sister; and the sympathy and furrowed brow of our pastor. These events unwind in my head like a black and white silent film of Keystone Cops with a church organ revival hymn for the soundtrack.  There was something almost slapstick about how that morning unfolded, and once the dust had settled and the family was relating the story to my grandmother later that day, we began to find the humor in it. Hitting things and missing things and this is sacred. All of it.Because our body is the very source of our calamities,If we have no body, what calamities can we have?- Lao Tzu, Tao Teh Ching            Most religions see the body as temporal and the soul as eternal. Hence, 13th century monks cloistered themselves up denying their bodies space and interaction that their souls might be enhanced.            I see it this way: No one denies their bodily existence, do they? Look, your own hand holds this book. Why do you exist? You exist right now, inherently, to hold a book, and to feel the manifold sensations of the moment.            If this isn't enough of a reason, adjust.            I've heard it said, "Stop living in the way of the world, live in the way of God."            My reply: "Before I was baptized, I heard a cumbf, and it was in the world and I couldn't ignore it.  I'm not convinced we would have a world if we weren't supposed to live in the way of it."Thanks for reading Soundwalk!

As Spring days blur into endless starry summer nights, I hope you'll retreat into the piney wilderness with me. After enduring a drafty winter, it's well past time we got our faces into sunshine, feel peat moss beneath our bare feet, and savor this season of growth and renewal. There's no better way to send a refreshing chill down your spine than to dig into the haunted side of the Cascade Mountain Range. Let's get into it!Haunted PeaksIt's a fact that the Cascade peaks are haunted. From lost hikers, to murder, to tragic accidents, and risky ventures like mining, these mountains have seen their share of tragedy. Some believe the stone of the mountains absorbed those memories and when conditions are perfect, they play back like a cassette tape.

We head to the west coast this week and explore the spooky side of California! First, Kenzie takes us up north to the Cascade Mountain Range where you can find the mysterious Mt. Shasta. This mountain continually presents oddities, ranging from ancient lost civilizations to UFO sightings, encounters with Bigfoot, strange creatures, and anomalous individuals. Then, Lauren shares the horrid story of Spade Cooley, an American Western swing musician, big band leader, actor, television personality, and….convicted murderer. Be warned, his story is not for the fainted heart. We hope you enjoy this episode on the dark side of sunny California!*Side Note: We apologize for the sound quality in parts of this episode!--Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl--Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

The Eastern and Western halves of Washington can seem like two different states; one dry and pastoral, the other overcast and lush. Rob Joynes is a singer-songwriter who's music captures these two contrasting landscapes. Raised on the East side of the Cascade Mountain Range, Joynes often invokes his home town of Spokane directly in his lyrics. Pairing themes of queer identity, abjection, family and aging with piano driven melodies and sentimental guitar riffs influenced by artists like Red House Painters, Jason Molina, Carissa's Wierd and Kath Bloom. Joynes presently resides in Seattle and contributes to bands Sunnyland and Fell Off. robjoynes.bandcamp.com felloff.bandcamp.com sunnyland.bandcamp.com IG : @rob_joynes

Three mystical peaks in Oregon with a pool of freshwater fit for Satan himself to the south – Clear Lake that has a petrified forest perfectly preserved beneath its depths, and icy waters whose temp hovers right around freezing all year long, next Lost Lake that disappears down a deep hole, emptying it's mysterious waters to where? Some believe into Clear Lake. So damn strange. Then there's Devil's Lake, a serial killer, indigenous legends and spiritual touchstones and more!

I'm not sure you can hear that in the background. The Seattle skies have opened up and it is pouring out! This is my favorite weather, a vibe that gets my creative juices flowing. If you are a regular listener, first, thank god for you. You are the reason I've kept at this the last month, this podcasting thing. In some summer episodes I teased Season Four, one that would focus on the alien phenomena, but would start at the beginning - the first sightings, the first academics that delved into studying the skies and oceans for non-human life and crafts, and go from there. I'll give you the inside scoop on why I've put that season on hold for now. Then we'll get into some ghost stories.

In the woo community, we hear much about healing our past traumas, or healing our inner child. I'm no different. I've been doing the work to look back and face, then make peace with my past. It's been a journey of forgiving, both myself and others. I truly thought to meet my inner child would be a delightful, relaxing experience. We'd hug in my mind's eye, reunited. I've meditated to send love and comfort to who I'll call little Jenn many times. Those painful memories no longer hurt like they used to, so our reunion in the hypnosis session would be sweet? Right?The short answer is kind of. But it was important. Hang with me and I'll share the journey. You'll hear snippets of the session, the bulk of what was revealed to me and how it has continued to heal and purge toxins inside my spiritual and physical body ever since.Special Guest Links:(Monique's details here - Innerstandings Hypnosis - blog and book a session!)Liked the episode?

Sometimes after the interview is recorded, bits of important information come forth. Keith is an IT professional, obsessed with data, and that's why he took meticulous records of all that happened when he resided at what has been come to be known as Bothell Hell House of Ghost Adventures fame.It's my opinion that the GAC crew did not treat Keith or Tina kindly, and were there after the big activity had quieted.

Heidi Stock of Wise Wolf Craft is a special human, a gifted healer, and her episode blew the minds of listeners. I polished up the last few minutes of that original interview because there is love in the remnants that needs to be transmitted. We need more love these days. Less fear and more curiosity. Less hate and more raw, unconditional love.In that spirit, I share the following.

We spend roughly a third of our lives asleep. Do you buy the rote reason given? That it's when our bodies heal. And that's it. Not a very efficient pit stop, is it? Eight hours to heal the damage we do during the other 16? The recent addition to that is sleeping hours are when our brain processes, then stores our day. Really? That doesn't quite pass the BS test for me either. I've no doubt that's part of it, but does our computer, once we shut our laptops for the evening spend the next X hours processing what we created, wrote, edited, sent and designed? No. It did that during the working hours. Why would our brains be any different?  All this is a super long way of saying, I believe it's time to take an honest at sleep, or what I've come to call, 'Night Swimming.'  Great minds like Carl Jung and Alfred Einstein, Nikola Tesla, hell! Oprah, all have wondered what is really happening during our sleeping hours. What is happening? What the hell are we doing?

This week's episode is two-thirds teaching you the CIA approved method for remote viewing and one-third true, or should I say, Pru crime? I'm being overly dramatic, but the master class I took online to learn the whats and hows of remote viewing (or RV) was presented largely by a woman named, Prudence Calabrese. A year after the filming she dropped off the radar and her company, Transdimensional Systems, the single most successful RV venture, went kaput. I dug into the reasons behind this and found a documentary about it which is free on YouTube. I jumped ahead again. 1. Episode Intro2. Remote Viewing History3. How to Remote View4.

Late last night a well meaning and wonderful neighbor of ours sent us security footage of two guys that were walking around the corner of our property, shining a flashlight onto a concrete wall, talking with each other, going around the house again, and if that'd been it, I'd have assumed they were looking for a lost cat. But one of them flashed his light on our dome-shaped security camera and they quickly left the corner, then block altogether. We paused HULU, thanked the neighbor, then spent the next half-hour checking windows, door locks, turning on outside lights, recharging Ring cameras, that kind of thing. By the time I was in bed, I needed a palate cleanser. I turned on an episode of Better Call Saul. In it, a character with a young granddaughter spends the night on their hideaway sofa to keep them safe. I fell asleep dreaming about Pop Pop being on my sofa downstairs monitoring us through the night. Why am I sharing all this? Well, because I have two draft episodes in the hopper, but neither is screaming to be recorded. When that happens, I know the angels and guides have something else planned, either a person I've reached out to for an interview is going to have an opening, or an episode will craft itself. This is the latter. Someone somewhere needs to feel safe, and I hope this episode gives them the ways to shape their days to be both safe and sane. Show Sources and Materials:Gavin de Becker's Master Class (author of Gift of Fear)Personal safety tips from UCLA PD Food Expiration Confusion Cleared Up article from Real SimpleLink for Fruit/Veg Life Extending Green Bags:  https://www.amazon.com/Debbie-Meyer-GreenBags-Reusable-Vegetables/dp/B00I4V1U06?th=1Fantastic financial and online fraud awareness article! https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/how-recognize-and-avoid-phishing-scams What to Bring on a Day Hike from REI*********************************************************************Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots to explore the rumor riddled Cascade Mountain Range, a land of fire and ice.

I hope you and your people are well. It's been a helluva month, hasn't it? I'm glad to see the end of it. Like a Clint Eastwood movie, my August was good, bad and ugly. It's consisted of some serious physical and emotional work and in order to not hide in a hole, but face the work, I painted my toenails purple. It's not a color I'd normally pick, but the wild shade helped me to focus only on the present moment, not let my brain drift ahead. I wanted to be present and purple toes were my gentle reminder to do that.The good? We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday at a Seattle Mariners game. It was lovely and I don't think I've laughed as hard as I did while razzing my mom with my big brother Garth during the game. We all laughed. Mom said later that night, it'd been therapeutic. It was her first birthday without her partner of over four decades. After she boarded the plane for a baseball tour of the west coast, my priorities shifted to helping my youngest move across the country.  Part of the work I was doing is to help my youngest relocate across the country, and in the process earned my IKEA master builder's PhD. I wish that was a real thing, but it's not. What's very real are my emotions during this process. I've been an empty nester technically for two years but moving to a place I can't get to in a matter of two hours is different. There's been something about the process of moving out for good that has helped my youngest assess her growing up times. I dont' want to speak her story, but I've been doing the same and as she shares something I did that hurt her or caused her pain, we've worked through it. That's a helluva lot of crow that I've eaten, and a whole lot more forgiveness on her part. I've had a similar process with my older one, too. When past traumas were shared with me, it was my egoic self that made fists, fighting to remember my side, recollect my state of mind at the time, my justification of those actions or inactions. You can't see, but I'm shaking my head right now. I was pathetic. What a waste of energy.  Show Sources and Materials:How Forgiveness Rewires the Brain with Vishen Lakhiani: (audio) https://www.apa.org/news/podcasts/speaking-of-psychology/forgivenessCAT Scan Study of Forgivenesshttps://tricycle.org/magazine/power-forgiveness/https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/the-power-*********************************************************************Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots to explore the rumor riddled Cascade Mountain Range, a land of fire and ice.

Full disclosure. This week's topic stems from a conversation I had with someone I love. I'm not naming them for two reasons. First, I didn't ask permission, and second, we have such rich, fantastic conversations, I never want them to think whatever we speak of in confidence is somehow fodder for Curious Cat. During that conversation we spoke about something others have expressed to me, the fear that comes hand-in-hand with those first attempts to open up and strengthen psychic muscles. I'd like to share some helpful information and expand on it for YOU, offered in love. If it resonates, then I am grateful. If it does not, let it fall to the earth like raindrops.Fair warning? This may feel like the speed dating equivalent of a lesson in intuition, but I did some deep journaling and serious pondering to reduce the information into what follows to make the best use of your time and attention. Love this episode?

This week we are in for a treat. Dr. Richard Sugg is an accomplished author with 13 published books. His works have appeared in The Guardian, BBC History, Der Spiegel and The New Yorker. He has only recently ventured into the podcast arena with Dark Mysteries from the Secret University. He has a new book out now, and I've linked to it in the show. ***Full disclosure - Most of my audio editing time went to reduce the volume on the many places where I laughed like a hyena :) Also, Dr. Sugg touches upon politics three times and Curious Cat is allergic to the topic - because this show is all about the things which bring us together - but in the context of the story of his book and our discussion about animals being the great human mediators, I left those parts largely untouched.1.

That said, if you venture out into the wild, don't get caught without a light source. The woods feel different when the sun dips below the treeline!This week, Curious Cat CASCADIA ventures into the wilds of Northern California's Siskiyou County. As Weird California aptly states, "No place in America is the subject of as many occult legends and stories as the majestic snowcapped dormant volcano now called Mount Shasta." Personally? The place scares the crap outta me. As a kid of divorced parents, I was forced to drive past the mountain at least twice a year and when the peak was in eyeshot, I curled into a ball in the footwell of the backseat! Thinking back, to say Shasta scared me comes up short. It made my guts bubble, my heart pound fast, and my brows glisten with sweat.

This one was recorded on the fly after I woke up thinking about the BANANAS Schumann Resonance recorded in June. It was like a weaving to me, weaving the pieces of fabric of us together into a beautiful quilt. That got me thinking about duality, specifically the imbalance between the time we devote to our meat suits versus our souls. If you vibed with this episode, listen to these next!

This week we have a special guest who embodies the essence of Curious Cat. She is a produce and chicken farmer, but she's also doing spiritual work which began with grid healing and evolved into world building. I'm not sure what all that means, but she's here to explain everything. She reached out to the show after listening to the episode, Mind the Gap, and I cannot WAIT to hear all she has to share.

This week we venture into the Cascade Mountain range just a stitch south of Seattle and Tacoma, north of Portland to Mount Rainier, or what my kids called Mount Reindeer when they were little. Mount Rainier is Washington State's Shangri La. On a clear day it is the unrivaled star of the Seattle skyline. The mountain has served as a sacred spot for ancient peoples, a playground for mountaineers, and has a history of high strangeness. First Peoples describe Mount Rainier as an angry woman, the center of many centuries' old tales. Let's begin with the essential facts.Special show art by Bryn Hotes.

Thanks for tuning into Curious Cat's very special season three, Cascadia. As the scorching heat of summer continues, I hope you'll retreat with us into the musky wilderness, dip a toe in a chill alpine lake, and reflect on the perfection of nature. This week we travel south to a place not far from the California/Oregon border. Double knot your hiking boots, top off your hydro flask, then douse yourself in holy water or sage because this one is on the spooky side.My first full panic attack occurred in a hotel room half a globe away from CASCADIA - but it was curiously part of Cascadia's legendary Ring of Fire. We were on the final days of a trip of a lifetime to Japan that included a visit to Disney's two parks - Disneyland and Tokyo Sea - which by the way was hands-down the best theme park I've ever been to before or since. Okay, back to that panic attack. We were staying in a hotel on Tokyo Bay and somewhere around 3am I woke up, heart racing, sweating, gasping in enough air not to faint. Everyone else remained asleep, which was better than them freaking out along with me. Heart pounding, sweating, crying. I basically thought I must be dying. If you've not experienced a panic attack , well I hope you never do. As the worst of it began to subside, I had an urge to press my hands against something ice cold. The best I could find in the slim room was a window. I sobbed, wiping my face with my pajama sleeve. After fifteen minutes or so, the attack had run its course. I shared that in love, but also so you will understand how my body reacts when I am near two places; Mount Shasta and Crater Lake National Park. Now as we dive into the facts, stories, legends, ufo lore, and mysteries of Crater Lake, you'll know what I mean when I say I have a visceral reaction to this location.  Let's get into it!I.

Have any deep, dark secrets you need to purge in a safe way?  Let me suggest you take a trip to the North Cascades, specifically Mount Baker. Find a clear patch of trail and shout your secrets into the crisp clear banks of this peak. She's been keeping secrets for centuries. From ghost towns to missing persons to hidden Bigfoot lairs, Mount Baker would rather erupt than reveal your secrets to a soul. But, like usual I'm getting ahead of myself. Mount Baker is also known as Koma Kulshan, or simply Kulshan. It is 10,781 feet high and an active glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens. The mountain lies about 30 miles due east of Bellingham, Washington. After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes.It's volume of snow and ice is greater than that of all the other Cascade volcanoes (except Rainier) combined.It is one of the snowiest places in the world, In fact, in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season - which was a grand total of 1,140 inches!Mount Baker is visible from  Southern Canada and as far south as Tacoma, Washington.From Kiddle - indigenous peoples have known the mountain for thousands of years, but the first written record of the peak is from Spanish explorer as Koma Kulshan or Kulshan. This means "white sentinel" or "Puncture wound" (i.e. crater) The first governor of Washington Territory, Isaac I. Stevens, wrote about Mount Baker in 1853: "Mount Baker is one of the loftiest and most conspicuous peaks of the northern Cascade range. It is nearly as high as Mount Rainier, and like that mountain, its snow-covered pyramid has the form of a sugar-loaf. It is for this region a natural and important landmark. Show Sources and Materials:David Paulides' YouTube Video on Washington and FloridaFacts about Mount Baker from Kiddlehttps://blogs.scientificamerican.com/history-of-geology/the-mythical-fire-mountains-of-the-cascades/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Baker *********************************************************************Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots to explore the rumor riddled Cascade Mountain Range, a land of fire and ice.

This episode is dedicated to Mike Prudhomme. He was technically my stepdad, but we lovingly called him Super Mom because he did all those sweet, cool, fun, awesome things we thought a really super duper mom would. I miss you, but will keep your legacies of loving (and sharing) music, sports, and being quick to laugh alive.

Recently, I had the most incredible conversation about Sasquatch in the Cascade Mountains with Derek Condit. He is the shooting star that owns Mystical Wares in Mount Vernon, Washington. He has incredible healing and psychic abilities, and recognizes Sasquatch as a selfless healer (like himself, I must add). Our rich conversation was an hour long, and even after I stopped recording, my mind raced with more questions. That's a long lead up to today's BONUS Cascadia Sasquatch episode. Today, I'll reverse gears for a second and go over Bigfoot 101, then share more about Missing 411's David Paulides and his FREE YouTube course, and also tell some older stories that I found when I was backgrounding for Derek Condit's interview. Last but not least, I'll dig into Sasquach's alleged supernatural powers.

In the true spirit of, “As above, so below,” Pete, the Blue Collar Spiritualist spends his evenings digging tunnels beneath New York City, and his days boring pathways for others to explore the spiritual realm. Both jobs might invoke fear in others, require proper safety measures and adequate lighting, certain protective measures, and with caution and training, can be fruitful.His bio states that he's been practicing mediumship for about 15 years. He also does shamanic journey work and various forms of energy healing. With a job building underground tunnels under the streets of NYC, he brings  a different blunt new perspective on working and connecting to the spiritual realm. Welcome to Curious Cat, Pete!

Cascadia Sasquatch is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, coated with fur.If you streamed Cascadia's Mount St. Helens episode, then you know I held back the accounts of sasquatch in the area that go back centuries! Battles between two ape men led to the naming of Ape Canyon and Ape Caves. There's a slew of modern day sightings, too, including at nearby Spirit Lake. It nearly killed me to withhold those accounts, but I didn't want to short change the subject. Sasquatch deserves his own full episode.With me to explore this mystery is Derek Condit. He's the owner of my absolute favorite store, Mystical Wares in Mount Vernon, Washington (online, too!) He's also a teacher, an inventor, a healer, a podcaster, and soon to be author. Welcome to the show, Derek. How are you?The Cascade Mountain Range is a Sasquatch/Bigfoot HOT SPOT.

This episode is dedicated to Grammie Donna, who would have turned 93 years old today. I think she'd like this episode and the description of Mount St. Helens as a topless goddess. I miss and love you, Donna.To say I know Mount St. Helens intimately is an understatement. I've breathed bits of her into my lungs and nostrils. I filtered her ash through my ten year old fingers and collected cups of her for god knows what reason after her epic 1980 eruption. Legends about the mountain stretch back thousands of years to her human life as a goddess, tell of the men that fought for her heart and the devastating results. She is volatile, romantic, squatchy, topless, and some geologists describe her as antisocial. Geographic features near the peak are curiously named Ape Cave, Ape Valley and Spirit Lake. It is 43 years to the day when Mount St. Helens erupted, the perfect moment to shine a spotlight on her. Let's get into it! Mount St. Helens Basics:Mount St. Helens rests in the southwest corner of Washington state, 97 miles south of Seattle and 52 miles north of Portland, Oregon. Prior to her eruption, she was the fifth highest peak in Washington and had a conical-shaped cap earning her the nickname, ‘Mount Fuji of America.' In 1792, Captain George Vancouver named the volcano for Britain's ambassador to Spain, Alleyne Fitzherbert, also known as Baron St. Helens, though native peoples named the mountain, Loowit, thousands of years earlier.Show Sources and More Reading:30 Fun Facts about MSH Original Tacoma News Tribune newspaper after Mount St Helens erupted:https://www.discoverwalks.com/blog/united-states/unbelievable-facts-about-mount-st-helens/https://www.livescience.com/63505-mount-st-helens-location-explained.html Great Native Legends of Mount St. Helens:https://cascadiabioregion.org/department-of-bioregion/native-place-names-loowit-mt-st-helenshttps://volcano.oregonstate.edu/native-american-myths *********************************************************************Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots to explore the rumor riddled Cascade Mountain Range, a land of fire and ice.

This episode is proof that the Universe has perfect timing. Heidi Stock and I were scheduled to chat a month ago, but an illness in her family forced us to put the interview off awhile. Then, after her family healed, the perfect sliver of time became available. You'll hear little bread crumbs all over this conversation. We both offer it in love.If you're a superfan of Curious Cat, first off, THANK YOU!!!! Second, then you KNOW I've been in search of a Reiki Master to have on to teach us about this healing art. Well, it was a breath of fresh air courtesy of the Universe when I checked my Insta dms and instead of finding a slew of messages from shirtless men holding roses, or fake Zak Bagans accounts asking for money, or illuminati bots, instead, I found the most kind message from the owner of Wise Wolf Craft. Her name is Heidi Stock and she sells her products online and is a frequent vendor at one of my favorites of all time, the Pacific Northwest Witches Market.

If you listened to the Halloween episode where Molly and I told the story of a young, powerless nun from Fresno, California who'd been haunting church property for YEARS, then you'll recall how our pursuit to understand Sister Irenita's discontent went where we could've never predicted. All we knew when we set out is that her story needed to be told. And then we prayed we'd given her rest and peace finally.  Well, today's episode is much the same. There is someone that passed away decades ago that came on the spiritual radar of my guest. Together, we are endeavoring to shine a spotlight on her life, in part to honor the dead, but also in hopes it will land on the ears of someone out there who has a missing puzzle piece or two. Join us on this unpredictable and jaw-dropping journey.Superfans of Curious Cat will recognize my guest from our Christmas memories episode where she shared her unforgettable story.

I grew up in Eastern Washington, a stone's throw from the mighty waters of the Columbia River. We waded on its mossy rocks to better view hydroplanes as they skimmed the surface, dove down to its murky depths for sweet relief in the scorching summer months, and once, I fished out a slick, algae-covered twenty dollar bill just miles away from the place where D.B. Cooper was rumored to have dropped his ill-gotten fortune. I spent countless hours swimming, floating, boating, fishing, rock-skipping, and exploring its waters; even more hours running, biking, walking and in a few instances, making out near its muddy banks. This is the only river that crosses through the Cascade Mountain Range that was not born in its peaks. Paranormal experts find that water is a conduit to the supernatural, amplifying energies. Is that why the Columbia is rife with dark rumors? Let's get into it.______________________________________________SIGN UP FOR Karen Rontowski's Spiritual Protection Class HERE! - It is a sliding scale price and she asks that if you cannot afford even the lowest price, that you email her with the contact form and she'll give you access FREE.________________________________________________Show Sources and Materials:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Riverhttps://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33170655https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/kennewick-mans-bones-reburied-settling-a-decades-long-debatehttps://www.ancient-origins.net/history-important-events/forgotten-story-spanish-conquerors-north-america-005391https://www.wweek.com/culture/2019/10/29/the-pacific-northwest-is-crawling-with-cryptids-and-not-just-bigfoot-heres-how-to-dress-like-one-of-oregons-other-monsters-for-halloween/https://www.oregonlive.com/entertainment/2019/03/oregons-most-famous-mythical-creature-it-might-not-Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots to explore the rumor riddled Cascade Mountain Range, a land of fire and ice.

Curious Cat's special CASCADIA series begins with the 1700 Cascadia Earthquake.It is the most epic natural disaster you've never heard of!The Cascade Mountain Range runs north into Canada and south through Washington, Oregon and into California. Sitting on the legendary Ring of Fire, this chain of 19 mountains was born in the belly of the Earth, a byproduct of the friction between the Juan de Fuca and CASCADIA plates. Three-hundred years ago the entire west coast of North America quaked. When the Juan de Fuca plate became unstuck, it slipped beneath the CASCADIA plate, and jarred an entire continent, devastating coastal communities, and forever etching itself into the oral histories of native peoples. Stories of a battle between good and evil, the thunderbird and the whale are still retold today. That was over three centuries ago, and we know the exact time it occurred.Let's go back a moment in our mental time machines. The year is 1700. You are a member of one of multiple indigenous tribes that reside in the mouthways of streams and rivers along the North American coastline. It is January and though the sun was filtered through clouds for most of the day, it's long since slipped below the horizon. The community fire is dying out. The young are rubbing their tired eyes and clinging to the laps and legs of their mamas. The community quietly tucks away, beneath warm layers to sleep. All is quiet. The scent of lingering woodsmoke, salty ocean spray and traces of the day blur into dreams. Then suddenly the land beneath shakes and rolls. While some remain asleep, the shaking infects their dreams, but others grow alert thanks to the rush of adrenaline. ______________________________________________SIGN UP FOR Karen Rontowski's Spiritual Protection Class HERE! - It is a sliding scale price and she asks that if you cannot afford even the lowest price, that you email her with the contact form and she'll give you access FREE.________________________________________________Episode Sources and Materials:https://hakaimagazine.com/features/great-quake-and-great-drowning/https://www.amazon.com/Orphan-Tsunami-1700-Japanese-Earthquake/dp/0295998083https://www.wired.com/story/the-long-lost-tale-of-an-18th-century-tsunami-as-told-by-trees/Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots this Spring.

My guest today is the incredible Seraphina Blackman. You may remember her from her guest appearances on Paranormal Karen, she's a Reiki Master, Tarot Reader, Artist, Fraggle, and General Vibes Master of ALL THE THINGS! And recently she's been learning transcendental meditation. Welcome to Curious Cat, Seraphina!Okay, I'm cracking up writing the show notes because I wrote out questions before the interview but we vibed out the entire conversation, so didn't ask a single one of the scripted boys. Ha! I guess that's the sign of a beautiful conversation. Seraphina promised to visit Curious Cat again, so I will keep the questions for next time so I can forget to ask them TWICE.  You're going to adore her.You can find all of Seraphina's links and projects here: https://linktr.ee/seraphinafraggle and her podcast on all platforms is Fraggle-ing with Seraphina.Seraphina Blackman's Patreon is here: https://www.patreon.com/seraphinafraggle and there are three levels, depending on what information you are seeking. Seraphina said that the idea is that you aren't a Patreon forever because you will use these resources to learn to heal yourself now and forever after.

I had an odd dream this morning. It was about blood. And unseen psychic vampires that have hunted a particular human with a specific blood type to survive, or maybe increase their genetic pool? It was unusual. Near the end of the dream, I wrote an email to David Paulides, the man behind the Missing 411 investigations, books and movies. I asked him if he'd noticed a commonality in the blood types of the people that have gone missing.  Then I woke up.And I'd never even known the word, ‘hematology' before the dream. Curious, isn't it? We are a species that has multiple blood types. Some combinations can cause problems, fatal even, and a special blood type has been named ‘universal' because it is able to be accepted by all, but that's not true anymore thanks to a newly discovered blood type that can only donate to its own. Are we the only species on the planet that has multiple blood types? What's the point of this adaptation? Is it evidence of us being hybrids of other species? Am I reading too much into all this? Afterall, sometimes a dream is just a dream.Join me to learn something new about blood, rare blood diseases, forensic science, and maybe even some vampire facts and lore. I'll also share the rarest blood type on Earth with you.Show Sources and Materials:Blood Facts from ThoughtCo: https://www.thoughtco.com/facts-about-blood-373355https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/559256/why-we-love-true-crimehttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/vampires-europe-new-england-halloween-historyhttps://www.livescience.com/33528-why-blood-types-exist-compatible.htmlhttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-people-have-differ/https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-mystery-of-human-blood-types-86993838/https://animals.howstuffworks.com/animal-facts/do-animals-have-different-blood-types.htmhttps://www.historicmysteries.com/blood-types/Ten facts about blood: https://youtu.be/FGFWImXRE08https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20140715-why-do-we-have-blood-types (it also tells of the newly discoverCurious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots this Spring.

For the last year I've noticed repeating numbers. 4-4-4, 1-2-1-2, 2-2-2, and 555. They've driven me to the internet multiple times in search of the meaning behind the message. That's how I first heard the term numerology. From the little I gleaned, it is a left-brained and right-brained science, marrying the spiritual with the scientific which is the backbone of Curious Cat! Ever since, I've sought a numerologist to teach all of us about this interesting subject. I'm grateful to have found the perfect guest to pepper with questions thanks to my podcast friend, Karen Rontowski! Here's a little about Brian Kukan. Brian was a high school math teacher for 13 years before leaving the profession to pursue a more spiritually-focused lifestyle. Brian loves how numerology can help us learn more about ourselves and others and teach us how to improve our relationships with everyone.Brian is also a Jikiden Reiki Teacher (shihankaku) offering classes and sessions in his healing room in Los Angeles and provides distant treatments for others around the globe. He is also a gigging bass player playing music all around Southern California. Listen to the full episode and learn about Numerology. At somewhere near the 15 minute mark I bully Brian into changing his shirt. So bear witness to THAT at the very least!Made and offered in love. - JGuest Links and Show Sources: Sign up for Brian's Numerology class here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=14198614&template=class Brian's website: www.LAreikiguy.comHere's the online FREE Numerology PDFs Brian mentioned: https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book//lookupname?key=Balliett%2C%20L%2E%20Dow%2C%20Mrs%2E%2C%201847%2Dhttps://www.spiritofthescripture.com/id4455-numbers-and-the-book-of-revelation-and-zodiac.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerologyhttps://www.amazon.com/Witchs-Book-Numbers-Enhance-Numerology/dp/1950253279 Curious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots this Spring.

Bothell Hell House is a case that any fan of Ghost Adventures knows. Travel Channel rolls it out once a year saying it was "debunked" by the GAC crew, somehow legitimizing the rest of the year's episodes. It is my opinion that they treated Keith Linder badly, that they willfully ignored evidence, evidence that in past episodes they'd used and stretched out to make an entire episode, and I was glad to give Mr. Linder a place to share his experience. Keith Linder is an IT professional, a genuinely nice guy, and was not someone that consumed paranormal stuff before finding a house to rent off of Craigs List. Curiously, when he phoned the utility company to add his name to the bill, the person on the other end of the line mentioned people had moved in and out of that house in quick succession over the last few years.It was the first of May, and they'd yet to pop the cork on a bottle of wine before a child's laughter would invade their home. The rest unfolded like a nightmare. Guest Links and Show Materials:Buy the book!Follow Keith Linder on Twitter hereCurious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots this Spring.

Take a deep breath with me. Breathe in fresh air down to your toes. Feel it swirl through your veins as it collects all that smoky, sticky energy that does not serve you. Now exhale. You may even cough for a few seconds afterwards. 2023 is teaching us to put ourselves first. Like the advisement we receive from airplane flight crews, it's critically important we take a breath from the metaphorical oxygen mask first before we assist anyone else. That's the lesson we have to learn, and master this year. Self-care comes first. I mention this, because I am STILL recovering from a flu I got in December. If I do too much, forget to drink water or rest when my body is screaming to stop, then the illness tries to come back. Even knowing this, I slip up. I forget myself. Take myself for granted. No angel embodies this better than Archangel Uriel. Haven't heard of him? I hope after this episode you fall in love with this essential celestial being.Uriel's nameWell known to Russian Orthodox faithful, Uriel's name translated to, “God is my flame.”In the Gnostic book, the Secret Book of John, written by Zebadee's son, and James' brother, Uriel is said to be placed in charge of demons. He is the third angel named in the Testament of Solomon.  He is mentioned in the Second Book of Esdras, found in biblical apocrypha in which Ezra asks God a slew of questions and Uriel is sent by God to instruct him. In the Christian apocryphal gospels Uriel and his role differ depending on the source. In one, Uriel was critically important in the rescue of Jesus' cousin John the Baptist from the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by King Herod. He carries John and his mother Saint Elizabeth to join the Holy Family after their Flight into Egypt. Their reunion is depicted in Leonardo da Vinci's Virgin of the Rocks.If you haven't seen this da Vinci painting, do a web search. It will be familiar. Uriel is seated on the right, has auburn curls and wears a gray and coral tunic of sorts. When I meditate and ask for Uriel's protection, I visualize hiCurious Cat is lacing up their hiking boots this Spring.

In early February, I had the joy of talking with The Corvid Corner from TikTok. If you listened, then like me, you might've been blown away about the intelligence, loyalty and cleverness of crows.As I confessed in the opening minutes of that episode, I haven't always been a bird fan. In fact, I suffered my first panic attack inside an aviary at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo. I attribute it to too much Alfred Hitchcock as a kid, and not enough Mary Poppins. During the episode, I meant to share some of my early experiences with crows and how my love has grown, but a virus hijacked my brain, so this episode is a necessary supplement to the conversation.Soon after becoming a mother, my heart changed. I saw those winged creatures like my babies, as delightful parts of our community.

“Incredibly, 75% of all aluminum ever created is still in use today.” -Justin Mahy   Episode Description:  Water is the elixir of life and these days we're getting it in bigger and bigger bottles. Unfortunately, these bottles tend to be made of plastic that ends up in our landfills and oceans. It's an issue that's being discussed around the world and rightly so. Fortunately, many organizations are taking steps to help make a difference and one of them is KOPU Water.     KOPU Water's mission is to provide pure water to the world, while reducing pollution from plastic. KOPU Water is packaged in a recyclable aluminum bottle- an eco-friendly alternative to plastic and glass. Incredibly, 75% of all aluminum ever created is still in use today. The design, which Justin and his co-founder labored over, and the material used, not only provide a luxurious look but also keep the water cool, thus preserving its great taste. KOPU Water is sourced from an artesian spring thousands of feet below the dormant volcanoes of Oregon's Cascade Mountain Range. KOPU has a pH of 8 and is rich in naturally-occurring silica, aka the “beauty mineral.” Silica helps improve skin elasticity and hair growth as well as building stronger bones and increasing joint flexibility. Currently, KOPU offers two options to choose from: KOPU Spring Water and KOPU Sparkling Water.     Tune in as Justine and her Dine & Design co-host, Bridget Cooper, talk with KOPU Water Co-Founder, Justin Mahy, about the benefits of KOPU Water for our personal health and the health of the environment. The trio discuss sparkling vs. naturally sparkling water. Is there such a thing as “naturally sparkling” water??  They dive into the factors that make KOPU Water so desirable- including the water's source, its velvety taste, the balance and size of the bubbles, and the impact drinking KOPU has on the planet.   Connect with Justin:  As a serial entrepreneur, Justin Mahy always looks for new business opportunities. His wife, Mindy,  loves sparkling water, which is the fastest-growing beverage in the US. However, since bottled water doesn't hold a good reputation because of its major contribution to pollution and biodiversity issues, Justin and Mindy took one step further as they sought to develop pure and sustainable water. After making their vision a reality- a pure drinking water in an eco-friendly aluminum bottle- Justin and Mindy finally launched KOPU Water in 2015.    Website Facebook  Twitter Instagram LinkedIn   Connect with Bridget (Dine & Design Co-Host):  A native from NZ, Bridget Cooper moved to NY when she was 18 to pursue a career in Interior Design. This journey started a life of the International jet set for Cooper, as travel became the source of inspiration and resource for herself and so many of her clients.    Her innate ability to seek out the extraordinary is the foundation for curating layered interiors and unforgettable experiences. This has built her a reputation in the design world as the “one in the know” and “to know”.   Bridget's interior work ranges from chic high-rise apartments in Chicago and NY to modern farmhouses in Northern California. In recent years, Bridget Cooper has expanded her creative talents working on many commercial projects and events creating unforgettable experiences on both big and small scales.  Bridget delights in over-thinking every detail and loves pushing the boundaries to keep things fresh and unexpected.   Currently, Bridget and her husband Rob have moved from SF to Ojai, Ca (a small town north of Los Angeles) where they are building Iverson house.   Website Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest   Connect with Justine:  Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn   Connect with NextGenChef: Website  Facebook  Twitter  Instagram  YouTube NextGenChef App (Apple) NextGenChef App (Android)  Episode Highlights: 01:20 The Love Story of KOPU 04:21 The Champagne of Sparkling Waters 06:09 A Luxurious Sustainable Water Bottle 10:04 What Makes Success  13:53 A Clean Fizz

When a New Year's Eve party near Seattle, Washington transformed into a shootout, one of the gunmen fled the area after retrieving multiple firearms from his home. The man started driving, ending up high in the Cascade Mountain Range, where he then fled into the wilds after shooting a park ranger. A massive, unrelenting manhunt unfolded over the next 24 hours, with hundreds of searchers tracking snowy foot impressions and following the shooter's trail through chest-deep snow, icy creeks, and the looming danger of an unstable man with his back against a mountain.

Volcanoes have long fascinated curious humans of all ages. Here in the Seattle area, our beloved Tahoma (Mount Rainier) and the four other active volcanoes in the Cascade Mountain Range are beautiful but ever-present reminders of Washington's location in the “Ring of Fire,” a 25,000-mile arc of volcanic activity that follows the rim of the Pacific Ocean. Volcanoes are quite literally our neighbors; how can we get to know them better and understand their role in shaping and reshaping our planet? Is there a way to safely live alongside them? In his new book, Super Volcanoes, science journalist and volcanologist Robin George Andrews walked us through awe-inspiring eruptions of the past and present and the secrets that they reveal about our planet. We already know quite a bit about how volcanoes form, erupt, and change, but many mysteries and questions remain: Is Earth's unique system of plate tectonics the best way to forge a planet capable of supporting life? How can we better predict eruptions and protect communities in the path of danger? Andrews took us from the ocean floor to Hawai'i, Yellowstone, Tanzania, and planets beyond ours to explore recent discoveries and lingering questions about the geologic wonders that captivate us. Robin George Andrews is a science journalist with a Ph.D. in volcanology. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Geographic, Scientific American, Atlas Obscura, and other publications. He lives in London, England.

In the summer 2020 issue of Eat Clean, Run Dirty Magazine we take a deep dive into the 200-mile genera with an incredible article by David Infante titled A Journey Into The Self. I personally have not run or been present at any 200-mile race. I do have wild respect for the folks that do them and I notice they rarely stop at just one. It is something that lives in a runner’s blood and calls their name. Bring on the Bigfoot 200. The Bigfoot 200 traverses the Cascade Mountain Range with 42,000 feet of elevation gain in a 206.5-mile point to point course that begins at Mount St. Helens and finishing in Randle, WA traversing the Cascade Mountain Range. To better equip myself for this conversation, I invited a very special co-host, Ryan Chukuske. Ryan is a trail and ultra runner from Minnesota who not only is a Founding Member of Eat Clean Run Dirty Magazine but is the author of a book called Bigfoot 200, Because You Know, Why the #@&% Not? Together the three of us discuss what the human body and spirit goes through over the course of 200 miles in rugged country and why one can’t wait to go back. I got goosebumps when I first raid David’s race report. It’s vulnerable and gorgeous. You can learn more about the Bigfoot 200 by visiting Destinationtrailrun.com . You can follow David on Instagram at @dinfante64 and Ryan on Instagram at @chukuske . Please consider purchasing Ryan’s book on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Bigfoot-200-Because-You-Know/dp/1633936872. In a separate note, I’d like to take a moment to make a special announcement. The Eat Clean Run Dirty Podcast officially has a Producer. Jay Profitt is serving as our Production Intern. Jay lives in beautiful Lynchburg, Virgina and, among many other things, works as a race photographer, creates promotional videos, and does production for another great podcast called Math Before Breakfast.

Bill and I have been on a brief hiatus. Let’s just say we have been adjusting to a new way of living our lives during the coronavirus pandemic. Walking into a wine retailer or visiting a winery tasting room has not been an option for us so in this podcast we spend some time talking about how and where we are buying our adult beverages. We both are certainly consuming more alcohol since the start of pandemic. Have your drinking habits changed? Are you purchasing more products on line?If you own a winery how do you protect your staff and your customers against coronavirus? Michael Alberty pens a piece for The Oregonian that explains how Willamette Valley Vineyards is planning to tackle the virus.What is corked wine? How do you recognize it and what’s the process to follow if you discover you have a bottle of wine that is corked? Eric Asimov writes a piece for the New York Times surveying how wineries faced with marketing disruptions are seeking new innovative ways to keep the cash flowing.Bill and I discuss these items and more in this week's addition of VinoWeek. Thanks to everyone for listening. Cheers!We have two wine recommendations this week. The first is a rare white wine from the DOC Colli Tortonesi (the hills of Tortona). Tortona is a commune of south-east Piedmont,  in the Province of Alessandria in north-western Italy. Piedmonte is most noteworthy for it’s noble reds Barolo and Barbaresco. The white wines of Asti (Asti Spumante) and Gavi have their avid followers too. The 2017 Derthona Timorasso is produced by Boveri Luigi. The Azienda Agricola (farm) is owned by Luigi and Germana Boveri. Originally focused on grain production the family embraced viticulture in the mid nineties and now are solely focused on winemaking. The rare white wine they make from the Timorasso grape has been recently rediscovered. The man responsible for the rediscovery is Walter Massa. After World War II, native varietal wines like Timorasso were overshadowed and forgotten as winemakers rushed to produce simple, uniform, high profit wines. Massa was discovered by the wine cognoscenti in 2000 and received much praise for a barrique- aged Barbera he had made. Wine writers happened upon some of the small lots of Timorasso that Walter was experimenting with and began spreading the word of the quality of those wines too. Neighboring growers took notice of Massa’s success with Timorasso and followed his lead. Even though Timorasso has been redeemed, today the area planted to the thick-skinned variety covers just 175 acres, hence its rarity. Derthona is the latin name for the city of Tortona. Boveri’s Derthona Timorasso is planted on the hills of Costa Vescovato, composed of 70% clay limestone and 30% marly limestone. The grapes are hand harvested and once they are crushed they are allowed to macerate for 48 to 60 hours on the skins. Luigi does this to add more depth and texture to the wine. The maceration and soft pressing is followed by a native yeast fermentation and the 100% Timorasso wine is held on the lees in stainless steel tanks for one year. Periodically throughout the year the wine receives battonage. After bottling the wine is held for one year before release. Following 2016, the 2017 grape growing season faced a difficult start as early frost cut yields throughout the region of Piedmont. Drought conditions were present and a heatwave near the end of the ripening cycle made for a chaotic harvest. Luigi’s Derthona is bright straw yellow in color with tinges of green. Aromas of white peach, grapefruit, meyer lemon and white flowers greet you on the nose. If I had to use one word for the mouth feel I’d say savory. This wine is full bodied at 14% alcohol so it packs a punch. Intense and focused with white peach, beeswax and mineral notes the wine has good depth and richness. Drink now, but know that Timorasso can age well too so you don’t have to worry about losing one in your wine stash. The 2017 is showing well now, but I’m betting it will improve over the next two to four years and beyond. $19 buy it here.Our second recommendation is the Darby Winery 2014 Dark Side Syrah. Darby English started making wine in a basement in 2002. A Seattle native he attended Oregon State University on a golf scholarship. Lucky for us he switched from golfing to winemaking. Darby’s first commercial release was in 2005. Today he produces 4,000 cases of Bordeaux Blends, Rhone Varietal and single vineyard wines. These are small production wines, typically 400 or less cases for each bottling. Darby sources his grapes for the Dark Side Syrah from the Columbia Valley. Columbia Valley is Washington’s largest viticultural region with 50,000 acres of planted vineyards. It contains 99% of the grapes grown in the state. Darby buys grapes from Dineen Vineyard in lower Yakima Valley, Discovery Vineyard in Horse Heaven Hills, and Stone Tree in the Wahluke Slope, all sub-regions of the Columbia Valley. After harvesting the grapes are trucked over the Cascade Mountain Range to the winery in Woodinville. The wine is aged for 18 months in  600 liter neutral French oak puncheons. The Dark Side Beautifully integrated fruit, enjoy it now or hold it for several more years. In the glass the color is medium ruby. The nose exhibits black and blue fruit, black pepper, licorice and a hint of grilled meat. The wine has an incredible balance of acids and tannins. On the palate loads of black fruit, spice and a velvety finish. 14.7%alc I don’t believe the 2014 Dark Side is available anymore as the new vintage on the website shows the 2017 at $28 a bottle. Buy it here.

Please be aware the stories, theories, re-enactments and language in this podcast are of an adult nature and can be disturbing, frightening and in some cases offensive. Listener Discretion is advised – there is very adult content ahead and you have been warned. Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained. I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the weird, wonderful, unexplained, eerie, scary and down-right unbelievable. There will be tales of ghosts, murder, supernatural beings and unexplained mysteries. So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, relax and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma.... And on today’s Dark enigma we’re continuing our foray into the most ghostly of places to visit on your summer vacation, and I know last week I gave you some international flair, but this week we’re bringing it back home. Why? Well because the summer is almost over so any trip has to be close and quick, so we have to bring it back to the states. But before we get into all that, we will be playing our drinking game as always. Please remember the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. Since today’s episode is dedicated to the great Northwest, any drink associated with Portland or Oregon will be appropriate. If you’re like me, I’m thinking Seattle circa 1998, so grunge, Nirvana and flannel! Alrighty, now for the game part… every time I say mansion that will be a single shot and every time I say Oregon, that’s a double shot. Now that we have the business end out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… and the story of the very famous and very very haunted Pittock mansion, so let’s hit it my heathens… Henry Pittock, a London-born newspaper publisher, and his wife Georgiana, met and married in Portland in 1860. Henry went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Oregon society, investing in a variety of industries, including railroads, banking, ranching, and mining. He was also an avid climber and outdoorsman. He helped to found Mazamas climbing club, and became part of the first expedition climb Mount Hood. Georgiana was also an active member of society, becoming involved in many cultural organizations and charities, including the Women’s Union and the Ladies Relief Society. She helped to found the Martha Washington Home, a residence for working women. She was also an enthusiastic gardener and was a founding member of the Portland Rose Society and the Portland Rose Festival. In 1909, the Pittocks decided they wanted to build a home in Portland to retire in. They hired the architect Edward T. Foulkes to design the Pittock Mansion from scratch. The forty-six room mansion was built on a hill overlooking Portland, with a French Renaissance exterior. The inside was uniquely designed, with oak-paneled cabinets, marble floors, a huge central staircase, modern amenities like an elevator and dumbwaiter, and, most strikingly, beautiful views of Mount Hood and the Cascade Mountain Range. Foil lines the inside of the entryway ceiling, a nod to Georgianna’s frugal early years, when she had to save foil from old tea containers.

What made the oversized tracks found in Bluff Creek, California, and other parts of America? A giant ape or just a big jape?In 1924, a group of miners working in the Cascade Mountain Range in the state of Washington were startled to see a huge simian creature staring at them from behind a tree. Panic-stricken, one of the men fired at it and although the bullet appeared to hit the giant ape in the head, the beast ran off, apparently unharmed.Soon afterwards another of the miners, Fred Beck, spotted it again on the edge of a canyon and again fired, this time hitting the creature in the back. The group watched as it fell over the ridge. They scrambled at once down into the canyon below, but could find no trace of the creature’s body.However, that evening as it grew dark, the men heard strange scratching noises outside their log cabin and saw shadowy gorilla-like faces at the window. The terrified miners barricaded the door but soon the creatures were hammering at the roof and walls.Generated imageHeavy rocks were thrown and the cabin rocked from side to side. The men began shooting through the walls in all directions but still the hammering continued, only ending as the sun rose the next morning. The miners packed up at once and left the cabin, vowing never to return......Audio Book - https://www.scribd.com/audiobook/402115088/Albert-Jack-s-Ten-Minute-Mysteries-The-World-s-Favorite-Mysteries-Investigatedhttps://albertjack.co.uk/category/mysterious-world/Audio Books written & narrated by Albert Jack here - https://albertjack.co.uk/

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start off talking about how recently archaeologists were left baffled by the "strange" discovery of ancient Roman coins buried in the ruins of a castle in Japan. The four copper coins were retrieved from soil beneath Katsuren Castle on Okinawa Island, and were originally thought to be a hoax before their true provenance was revealed. Then, a recent study by Japanese researchers has added some much-needed extra data about the phenomenon of life after death. In 2014 a questionnaire was sent out to bereaved family members of cancer patients across Japan who died in hospital, palliative care units, or at home, in order to evaluate the quality of the end-of-life care they received. Part of that nationwide survey asked about deathbed visions. Remarkably, of 2,221 survey responses, the researchers found that visions of dead loved ones were reported in 463 cases (21%). Then, a Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia couple were scratching their heads after discovering an odd-looking creature they described as a “jellified leech of some type.” Then, a 21-year-old Australian tradesman has been bitten by a venomous spider on the penis for a second time. The man was using a portable toilet on a Sydney building site on Tuesday, when he suffered a repeat of the incident five months ago. After the break, Kyle brings up the unusual mysteries and folklore that surround Mount Shasta. It is believed by many to be one of the sacred places found on Earth and it is called by some The Magical Mountain, it is the majestic Mt. Shasta, located in the Cascade Mountain Range of Northern California. Rising up from the range of picturesque mountains, in Siskiyou County, to a height of over 14,162 feet above sea level it ranks as one of the largest dormant (last eruption was incorrectly reported as being in 1786) strato-compound volcanoes (it is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire) in the continental USA. Mt Shasta, often seen as a very mysterious volcanic mountain, geologically has 4 cones stratovolcanic overlapping cones, not the usual 2. Legends and mysteries abound about the ethereal aura felt and seen by some who have trekked near, around and on the natural wonder. Native people have always held the mountain as a sacred area and in recent decades New Age believers see the mountain as having a mystical power that exudes peace and harmony. UFO proponents believe a secret alien base is located deep within the mountain. Others claim that there is a secret underground crystal city occupied by the lost tribe of Lemuria.

In his junior year of high school, Here Be Monsters host Jeff Emtman left his home and everything he knew to study in a tiny village nestled in the Cascade Mountain Range of Washington state. As an outsider among outsiders, Jeff soon began to feel like he was being watched.

Beginners.  I took a trip to Seattle last week for an appointment, and to do some shopping. I had arranged for my mother to pick up my kids from school, and stay with them until my husband got home from work. So, I was free for the day. Luckily, we have no snow yet, so the towns and highways are still clear and dry. Driving from here to Seattle takes about three hours, so, there and back, you are on the road for six hours. It sounds crazy to drive six hours for a brief visit. Mind you, Seattle is a beautiful city with everything imaginable available. There are many products and facilities that you just can't get in a small, rural town, so sometimes a trip to the big city is necessary. I don't go there as often as I would like, so I decided to treat myself to a day away. Another good thing about taking that road trip is the scenery. It is breathtaking. Most of the journey between Wenatchee and Seattle is through forest. You must go over one of the mountain passes that take you through the Cascade Mountain Range, and then you drop down towards sea level where you find the city. I am not used to driving in busy Seattle traffic. You have to be alert and keep your eyes peeled. Ironically, in the middle of the busiest traffic, two of my sons called me from their school, "Mum, I forgot to bring my homework to class. Can you bring it in?" and "Mum, we're low on lunch money. Could you come in a bring a check?" Sorry boys, Mum is unavailable, she's taking the day off, she is out of the office! Grammar notes.  Vocabulary: an appointment, to arrange, available, to keep one's eyes peeled. Exs: I have three appointments today, one with the doctor, one with the dentist, and one with a chiropractor. I arranged a get together with some friends. We had lunch and did some flower arrangements. The receptionist told me that the boss is unavailable right now; he's in a meeting. Keep your eyes peeled; if we're lucky, we'll see a deer or two in the field. Advanced.  I had a great time in Seattle. I did some shopping in one of my favorite stores, an international import store that carries typical English foods: baked beans, digestive biscuits, and lots of different chocolates. It makes me feel connected with England when I go there, and when I get home, my children always look curiously in the bag at the products that their mum used to eat as a child. Well, I unfortunately, shopped for too long, and so, was late for my appointment. But the day was perfect for this time of year. Seattle, as you probably know is very, very rainy. But this day was perfectly clear, sunny, and the views of the Olympian mountains was spectacular. My day came quickly to an end and I headed home. I had to go East, back through the Cascades. In a town called Cle-Elum, I decided to stop, stretch my legs, and have a bite to eat. I went to the Cottage Cafe. It is a local favorite. It is a combination of casual restaurant, cafe, and truck stop. It has low ceilings, wood everywhere, and the smell of fresh food and coffee. I ordered a 'chop chop' salad which had a bit of everything in it. Typically, it was huge; I couldn't finish it. But I was satisfied. I warmed myself up with a cup of coffee and chatted a little with the waitress. "It is always really clean in here," I said, remembering the times I had been there before and thought the same thing. "Thankyou, we try our best," she said while wiping down the glass of a pie display. It was a cosy stop for me. The hum of conversation, the wood cabin feel, the cleanliness, and the good food, had all made me feel at home. I noticed two wooded plaques on the wall. One said, "Freshly baked pies," and the other said, "Home cook'n". Yes, this place is definitely a good American road-side restaurant. Grammar notes. Western American slang: Home cook'n, shoot, yep and nope in one word answers, gee's, to talk someone's leg off: Exs: She sure does some good home cook'n. Shoot, I just broke the last light bulb! "Do you like beans?" Answer: "Nope!" "Yep!" Turn the music down! Gee's, I can't hear myself think! I ran into my neighbor at the store, and she talked my leg off for about an hour!
