Meet at Elbo Creek Trailhead at 1000 or at Central Market (Poulsbo) at 0900 if car pooling.
A change-in-pace hike. Elbo Creek trailhead is a couple hundred yards south of mt walker road on the west side of 101. We'll hike a little less than 2.5 miles, have lunch, and hike back down to the parking area.
Worthwhile stopping at the Quilcene Ranger Station to use the toilet before getting to the trailhead.
