Seven of us enjoyed a spring day on the Rattlesnake Ledge trail with moments of sun and rain. All but one member decided to carry on to the Middle and Upper viewpoints and then we had lunch at the First Ledge viewpoint.
We saw 3 patches of broken window glass at Little Si Trail Head, be sure not to leave anything visible in your car. We did not experience any problems.
High wind predictions for the Manastash Ridge area led us to a Plan B, a hybrid trip with ~500 ft of travel on the Rattlesnake Dance trail, followed by a mellow walk along Umtanum Creek.
A successful field trip in a great location.
Our trip to Bridle trails to see early Spring vascular plants was a great success. The weather was fantastic and all of the students were steadily practicing their use of the recommended apps and generally have a good time!
Mission accomplished despite a sever lack of wind for sailing. Zach and Jill were very attentive student and despite our lack of significant learned much about basic sailboat functions and maneuvering. Saw all points of sail, worked winch positions and got helm time under power and sail. Great day of learning.
Fun day with an awesome group of hikers! Lots of sunshine and beautiful views. Wildflowers are just starting to bloom.
This was Experience Sail #2 which was completed in Commencement Bay, WA.
Fun trip with a good group, along a interesting stretch of coastline.
Great snowy trip up Baring on a second attempt. Early start kept the avy danger to a minimum.
Heidi and McKenze were eager and ready to learn. They both did an excellent job in maneuvering the boat thru all points of sail including jibes and coming about. They were fast learners and asked good questions that showed a lot of study and preparation. Great job ladies!
Bitter cold wind and snow underfoot couldn't keep up from our goal! Make it!
A party of seasoned veterans snowshoed to Olallie Lake, gaining 2.100’ in a little under 6 hours round trip.
The flowers are out, and so are the birds in the evening.
Beautiful views of Mailbox, Revolution, Thompson Point, Russian Butte and the lakes below. Close to home and straightforward. Worth a try when conditions are good.
Friends Friends (+) 4-16-22, Commencement Bay, Tacoma, WA, USA: Amazing sail on Flash, a J-43, in heavy squall with hail and then sun! Thanks, Jerry Mckay and Chona for the hospitality and training! ⛵️
Student sail #1
All smiles on this beautiful hike with bluebird skies and fresh snowfall. After several weeks of cold, rainy and snowy weather in the PNW, we all were extra giddy hiking to Snoquera Falls under blue, blue skies with very light wind.
