It’s time for the weed report!

Hopefully you are OK with a cooler spell, maybe we can keep fire season at bay a little longer. Beware the ever drying grass when you ash on the trail or in the yard! Not much to report this week, we are just keeping our heads down and working, visiting with so many visitors from around the country.

Check out this week’s picture: I found a snazzy CD holder but I don’t have any CDs. I cut out the inner envelopes and now I have a very PNW weed kit, currently packed with a half ounce of Cedar Creek “ready to roll”, a pipe, a lighter and a pack of papers. I love being prepared! If you don’t have a kit put together it’s kind of fun to work on. I’m ready to roll, wahoo!

Check out our Leafly menu here. The same menu is also available on our website. We are transitioning on our menu function: it will not be accurate for the time being so call ahead if you’re depending on something. You can also find us on Yelp and Google! We love positive reviews, please consider leaving helpful comments so more people will check us out! We sure do appreciate it!

This week at the Disco Bay Detour:

Open M-F at 7am, S-S at 8am for COFFEE & NEWS – espresso, fresh pastries

Wilderness Wednesdays at the Detour – Every Wednesday starting in April, 6-9pm
A Collaboration between Disco Bay Outdoor Exchange and Disco Bay Detour

Join Detour bartender, former wilderness ranger and current mountain guide Erin Reading for an evening focused on wilderness/outdoor adventure. The intention is to share collective knowledge with one another, build webs of connection among various outdoor communities, and to have fun delighting in one another’s adventure planning, stories, and questions. Everyone is encouraged to bring maps (yay!), trip planning ideas and resources, gear questions, pictures, or whatever else you feel inspired to ask or share.

While the foundation of Wilderness Wednesdays is simply a time to gather informally to pour over maps and share stories over drinks, some evenings will also feature a wilderness related presentation or workshop, with topics ranging from surfing, kayaking, backcountry skiing, and mountaineering to backpacking, flyfishing, local botany, and wild foraging. If you have a presentation or workshop you would like to share for one of the weeks (30-45min long presentation, plus some Q & A time) or a topic you would like to hear someone else speak about, contact Erin at erin.b.reading@gmail.com.

***Barring rain, we will have a fire going outside – feel free to bring something to grill on the schwenker or a snack/potluck dish to share if so inspired.***

For both experienced and aspiring outdoor adventurers – all are welcome! Hope to see you there!
