=============================

Talapus and Olallie are a pair of lakes reached by a well maintained trail easily reached via I-90.  All of this makes them a popular destination, especially on holiday weekends, so we'll get an early start to avoid the crowds.

Afterwards we'll stop for food in North Bend and a location TBD.
