Here’s a lowdown on getting high (up in the trees at least) along with a listing of other treehouses in the PNW you can rent.

This is Home!

Pacific Northwest and Beyond started out as a local blog. No! Wait! A travel blog. No! Both!
Ultimately, it's a blog about places -- primarily in the Pacific Northwest and. sometimes, beyond. About ways to explore those places -- by foot, bike. About local events and things to do and routes.
COVID-19 made a bit change for us, as it did for everyone, and it will likely permanently change the way I travel. Luckily, I live in a beautiful area of the world that I look forward to getting back out and exploring.

Thule Hullavator Demo and Review

I guess the Thule Hullavator is like an elevator, only for your hull (of your kayak). I've used the Hullavator for a few years now -- overall it's a nice piece of gear and lets me schlep my kayak around solo. But it does have a few drawbacks as well. Here's what I think, with a video demo.
