Sunset is at 6:02pm, so we will be travelling some of the uphill and all of the downhill in the dark.  Make sure you have a headlamp (or some form of a hands free light) with fresh batteries.

This is an all weather event.  Short of a full on monsoon, this trip will go.

We will meet at the Cable Line trail head on SE 79th (just east of the Tiger Mountain entrance gate).  Be ready to leave at 5:30pm.
