First Hike of 2011

Yeah, it's hiking season once again in the Pacific Northwest; time for my first group hike of 2011!!
We will go to Tiger Mountain 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Seattle on March 18th to do a small hike up to the radio towers.
We will be one day from the full moon, so if the clouds cooperate, we might not even need flashlights!
So far, I have eight people signed up. It will likely be muddy, so consider bringing an extra pair of shoes for the ride home.

Come join me, and we can enjoy the beautiful, lush Cascade foot hills under the constellations, while looking out toward the sodium-lit Puget Sound.

Thanks all!!

Josh
