NEW MEETING PLACE!!!  Since almost everyone is coming from the north and one person from Olympia let's meet at the Roy 'Y' Park N Ride WA-507 & Pacific Ave S, Spanaway, WA 98387.  We will meet at 8:30 am still.  I prefer a casual pace to enjoy the time.  If you are a fast or impatient hiker please do not sign up.  I have done this route years and years ago (I think the dinosaurs still roamed the earth then), so this could qualify as a first time for me. Let us hope that the snow has melted and the flowers are out in full bloom.
