<p>We’ve been doing most of our walking lately in The Grand Forest and wanted a change of pace but still close to home. Fortunately, the <a href="/2008/07/28/bloedel-reserve-summer-and-biddies/">Bloedel Reserve’s</a> appointments are easy to come by in the winter on late notice so off to the Reserve went we.</p>

<p>We enjoyed our last trip to the <a href="/2008/07/28/bloedel-reserve-summer-and-biddies/">Bloedel Reserve</a> enough to become members and membership has its privileges – an annual mushroom walk.</p>

<p>Somewhat surprisingly the budding naturalists had yet to visit the <a href="http://bloedelreserve.org/">Bloedel Reserve</a> – so visiting we went.</p>
