Somehow every place we get the chance to visit seems more beautiful than the one before.

What’s more, with rare exception, the places we’re exploring are places we were scarcely even aware of before we set out to see them.

We took a trip to Newberry Volcano, and active shield volcano, characterized by a low profile caused by thinner, more fluid lava flows.

We hiked around a good bit of Paulina Lake, one of two crater lakes on the site, the other being East Lake.

Paulina Lake feeds into Paulina Creek, which soon forms Paulina Creek Falls, two 80 ft. (24 m) cascades and plunge falls.

What does all that mean? Nothing if you’re content to just steep in the beauty of your surroundings.

But when you begin to audit all the components that make up this vast and vast and diverse landscape it becomes vividly clear how much time it takes for a place like this to form - eons - and how inconceivably small and yet inexplicably important a role you play in all of this, even if only as a conscious observer.

Explore your world, friends. See as much of it as you can, however you can, as often as you can.

No matter how near or far the road takes you, no matter how imposing or seemingly featureless the geography, it will absolutely change you.

Look who we found! Did you know Big Foot could reach 20 ft tall? What’s the largest you have seen??? * * * #proceedingonwardinamerica #poa #poavlog #sasquatch #sasquatchsighting #bigfoot #bigfootsighting #bigfootisreal #bigfootsightings #bigfootcountry #toutle #washington #washingtonstate #dogswhoexplore #dogswhotravel #fulltimervlivingwithdogs #travel #traveling #explore #biggestbigfoot (at Bigfoot Country) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPG9U0vBkY4/?utm_medium=tumblr

I assumed Luna was basking in the warmth of the sunlight and breathing in the smell of nature all around us, enamored with the moment we found ourselves in. In fact, she had caught the scent of jerky treats that were heating up in their bag on the dashboard and about to launch into a whining campaign until I bent to her will and satiated her craving.

A force. That’s Luna for ya.

Jag was leading the way as we were rowing down the channel! He was keeping a good lookout! You can see more of his amazing skills on our YouTube channel Proceeding Onward in America.
