0900 at the trailhead. Note Change: Anyone wishing to carpool can meet at the Haagen in Olympia @0750 (1313 Cooper point Road SW) I have not done a carpool from here, but it is easy on easy off fwy. I will park towards the Crumble Cookie side of the lot-if anyone has a landmark at this meet up location-LMK.
This should be an enjoyable river romp! This is a rolling forested well maintained trail with a nice mostly paved road leading up to it! There will be ferns and mosses of all kinds, some wildflowers, and giant trees! There are many bridges and a few easily navigable rock hop drainages. Camp comfort will be our lunch/turn around spot. This is basically a wide-open area on the Skokomish River. Goals would be to get some exercise, enjoy nature, and possibly learn something from each other.
