Mickey Fleming 5/22/2017 10:15 PMI finished my one-time challenges in Bellingham over the weekend, including putting a free Schwinn Cruiser on a WTA bus (my first time ever), and hiking the Sehome Arboretum trail to the tower. I would have done these anyway, but the additional motivation was good. -
