    Wow, looks like fun. Those cranberries don't look like any I've ever seen in stores, what do you do with them?

    We are headed up to the Cascades to do the same on Thursday hoping for copious huckleberries and some non-bug infested king boletes (porcini mushrooms). Grouse season is open too so the 45/.410 Contender rides along. Too early for russulas here and only a few chanterelles so far.

    quilbilly! We went into Hells Canyon last weekend and picked apples, 2 varieties of plums, blackberries- there is fruit all along the river that is just going to waste. Supposed to be some peaches and apricots still in the old homesteads but we had plenty to make jam and applesauce.

    This has been the best blackberry season in my memory around here. We just finished off the peaches on my backyard tree today (yes, peaches grow on my side of the Olympic Peninsula) and it too was the best harvest ever. I do love this time of year!!

    Nothing better than some fresh morels, cleaned, sliced, and fried in real butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Tastes like steak.
    I unfortunately, have no luck finding them around here. Other people do, but not me.
