RAINY HIKE! HOORAY! Meet at Hansen Ridge TH at 10am (you get to sleep in!) Carpools are encouraged independently, a good place to meet is Eastgate Park and Ride if coming from the South, as long as you're at the TH by 10a! Don't forget your NWFP!

How to Find It:
From Seattle, take I-90 east to Exit 47, the Asahel Curtis exit.
Turn right at the end of the offramp, and go a couple hundred feet to the stop sign.
Turn right onto Tinkham Rd (dirt, but good with some potholes), and go 1.2 miles.
Take your first left onto FS road 5510, go 3.8 miles, always staying on the main road. When you come to the big former shooting pit (at a gate), you are at the trail head. (Hansen Ridge Trail Head)
The trail begins just on the other side of the gate on your right.

There are lots of routes to the summit so we'll choose depending on the group, likely following the Hansen Ridge Trail. We'll be keeping a moderate-brisk pace!
