New Life Children’s Home is a safe haven for kids who lived in the mountains a couple miles north. These kids were neglected, sick, beat, starved, etc. and they were saved to live here. Once we got arrived, we met a very joyful little kid named Moise. Moise followed us as we checked out all the super cool…

begin two days after learning of Bob’s admittance to the Evergreen facility in Kirkland. I shared the scenario with Tim and struggled with the decision of going. I chose to go. The Mountain is located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness in east Snohomish County near the Chelan County line out past Monte Cristo and Barlow Pass. These poles assisted me over rugged terrain of rock moraines, dusty high ridges, a crevassed glacier and finally a steep push in soft snow to the…

We were near the Lolo hot springs, when we found the plant. It was white and dull purple, leafy, and the petals were…

with few supplies. As food became scarce and tempers shortened under the brutal winter weather, the settlers resorted to cannibalism to soothe their aching stomachs. Modern renditions of the Donner Party’s plight, such as the movie Donner Pass (Donner Pass, 2011), emphasize the occurrences of cannibalism within the Donner camp.
