Mt Zion, Seattle, WA

The end draws near, friends. Job hunting is approaching its zenith and my days unencumbered are drawing to a close. I took a ferry across the Puget Sound and then drove out to a forest service road and hiked up Mt Zion via the Deadfall trailhead. It was a solid workout at 8 miles and some 2200ft elevation, an average 23% grade.

And may I just say? Mt Rainier is HUGE, always looming in the distance.

This picture is from Nate’s paragliding club’s launch at the top of a bluff that towers over the Pacific in Oceanside, OR. We also took a hike along the Cape Lookout at the namesake state park. Beautiful countryside if chilly, especially when the clouds broke. Great meal at The Schooner, with simple local ingredients. Great company with Nate, April and David.
