There was quite a crowd this morning. Ken and Wendy were there, along with their son and daughter-in-law from New Jersey (there to visit the newest member of their family, Ken and Wendy’s new grandson via their other son and daughter-in-law) plus Mark and Greg.
Their plan was to hike only up to Stan’s Overlook, since the out-of-towners are not accustomed to hiking on mountains. I left them at Stan’s and continued on towards Grand Prospect (although I turned around a bit before Grand Prospect, it was starting to rain and I had not brought my rain gear). I have said before, I just love the forest above Stan’s and today, on a cloudy, misty day, they were beautiful and mysterious.
The typical northern view along the service road that bypasses the trail below Stan’s was not much of a view today:
Yesterday I was in Snoqualmie babysitting and I was supposed to bring a bag of Easter candy. I forgot – my bad. But Derek was around this morning and I stopped by briefly after the hike to drop off the candy. The kids were there, looking longingly at the candy, but dad said they had to wait until tomorrow.
The cruelty!
Hoping for more hikes next week.
