Sorry for your loss :(

Hell yeah, that's what's up!!

It's not super difficult, but it also isn't super easy to grow something dispensary quality at home without the right equipment. In that case, a lot of folks home growing will throw in the towel because it's cheaper to just go to the store and buy an 1/8th for 20-45 bucks than to get all of the gear that helps attain high quality bud. Some will go nuts with it, and I'm here for that! Show me your sweet grows! But most of us will keep hitting up the store, because it's convenient.

They'd still get plenty of taxes from grass as well. Like the other user said, one plant is a lot of work. Personally, I'd try growing just for fun, but would probably fail, and end up back at the weed store. No big deal in my eyes. Especially since retail prices are pretty reasonable.

No problem! Happy to help. The humidity isn't crazy like pea soup air you hear about in the south, but it definitely can make the cold get down to your bones if it's chilly out.

Highway 20 is closed during the winter due to avalanche danger. And yes, shorts weather is about that degree range over here. The west side of the cascades, I'd say probably 50° on the low end just because of the humidity. The east side is dryer, so shorts weather is more of what you're accustomed to over here. The entire state is incredibly geologically diverse, from the rain forests on the peninsula, to the San Juan Islands and puget sound, the cascades range, to the channeled scablands in the central part of the state, awesome forests in the NE corner, down to the walla walla Valley, blue mountains, and clarkston in the SE corner, which is the gateway to hells canyon. There is a LOT to check out here! :)

Yes! 100% everything you said!!! Little white is gorgeous! My friend had her Bachelorette party there, and we rafted down LWSR, had drinks and food in hood river at pFriem, got an airbnb in Carson.. man it was amazing.

Then I had the opportunity to visit the area again in October when I was picking up salmon eggs from the Carson national fish hatchery. I really love it down there. It's really beautiful.

Don't sleep on the north cascades highway (hwy 20) drive to the Methow Valley on the east side of the cascades. The drive through the mountains is really beautiful and scenic. Winthrop and Twisp are pretty awesome little towns. Plenty of cabins and camp sites available in the area. Great hiking, fishing, backpacking, rafting.. it's a pretty sweet place with really great restaurants and a cute little brewery. Imo, late May, early June is the best time to visit. Most of the snow has melted by then. There's minimal fire danger, and it's shorts and t shirt weather. Definitely recommend.

Edit: letters

Exactly.

There's more decent people out east than you'd think. Not all of us are inbred maga dumb dumbs. Those ones are just loud. I wish they'd shut the hell up and crawl into a hole, and stop voting against their own interests so we can start making some forward progress. It's exhausting.

I saw one running around lyons ferry hatchery, right on the snake river about 6 years ago. It was really cool and very unexpected.

I'm on the Snake. I can relate :)

The campground itself is there, but it is closed. They've had a sign at the entrance since at least the beginning of last summer. Hopefully the state opens it back up, but last I heard it was closed indefinitely. The park is open, but not the campground.

Edit: words

Fyi- there's no camping at lyons ferry state park, or at Palouse falls. There's a KOA just across the Snake from the state park though!

Nice shot! This place is high on my list of 'back home' places I miss most ❤️
