My plan today was to have lunch with two Boeing friends down in Renton so I hiked on Squak Mountain because the trip from the May Valley Road parking lot to Renton is pretty easy.

Totally uneventful but a decent workout. I am thinking of doing Poo Poo Point via the long route on Thursday, as the weather is supposed to once again be nice.
The summit of Central Peak is not the most scenic:
