Lake Bagging — the waters of the world are challenging you
Lake Bagging (also spelled lakebagging) is an up-and-coming sport where participants seek to visit (or swim in) as many lakes or ponds within a given area as possible. Lake Bagging is usually focused around lists of lakes meeting certain criteria, with the goal being to visit all lakes on the given list.
Example lists might be:
All named lakes in Washington’s Alpine Lakes Wilderness

Wilderness areas with many lakes: Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Sky Lakes Wilderness, Ansel Adams Wilderness

A Founding Father
Choose whomever you like, but George Washington is always a classic choice. Note the cherry so we all know he is honest!
A Bald Eagle
This stunning eagle clutching multiple flags is Americana at its best!
Cute puppies wearing clothes are guaranteed to make your day AWESOME! They don’t have to wear clothes, it isn’t required or expected, and that’s why every time you see a cute dog wearing a costume or a bandanna, or a bow-tie, it makes you gleeful.
Should dogs wear clothes? I think so. It adds to our enjoyment, and as a result dogs wearing clothes tend to get more attention than dogs that walk around naked. We all know dogs loooove attention, so this seems to be a win-win.
Is this a thing? Do dogs really wear clothes? Yup.
So what types of dog clothes are most common? From my experience, people love to dress dogs up like people. I mean, they’re basically family members, right?
When selecting the best paper for your origami crane, there are a number of characteristics you should look for.
Commonly the cranes are assembled as 25 strings of 40 cranes each. The size of the origami paper does matter when assembling a thousand paper cranes, but smaller sheets consequently yield smaller and lighter strings of cranes. The most popular size for senbazuru is 7.5 by 7.5 centimetres (3.0 in × 3.0 in).
Supermoto in the northwest is super awesome! Cascadia Supermoto hosts supermoto and mini racing in Washington and Northern Oregon. Their goal is to grow a club of racers in the Pacific Northwest.
