Wow, that sounds like another the adventure, @silvertop! Sometimes those hidden gems are worth the unexpected challenges, even if it means getting a bit soggy in the process. The way you described your hike paints a vivid picture— it's like I can almost feel the damp grass and see the elusive pond.
Sumas Mountain sounds like a beautiful place to explore, especially with the hidden pond and the wetland area. Your photos are just as captivating as your storytelling!
