Janet Friedinger Finding Nature Around Cities

Janet has always been active. She walks every day, loves downhill skiing in the winter and playing tennis in the summer. Never one to be content to let life just pass her by, she looks for forward to new adventures.


As 60 approaches next year, the mountain goat has come out in Janet. The first three pictures show Mt Si east of Seattle. It is about 1500 vertical feet from the base and 8000 ft altitude.
