Hi there, just read your note about the garden project. I think starting with raised beds is a great idea if the soil drainage is poor. You'll want to use untreated cedar or redwood for longevity. I'd recommend laying down cardboard first to suppress weeds, then adding a mix of compost and topsoil. Let me know if you need help sourcing materials.

Regarding our upcoming backpacking trip to the Cascades, I'd suggest we aim for early September to avoid the peak crowds. The trailhead permits are first-come, so we should plan to arrive by Thursday afternoon. I've already mapped out a 3-day loop. Let me know if you prefer a slower pace so we can adjust the mileage.
