    Wow. This looks like a good one. I can’t make it though. I’m getting ready for a trip out of town and will miss the following TNAB too. :(

    See you second week in September though.

    Would love to go on this one, but again, I have conflicts. This time, it’s my parents. They are flying in from CT (that’s Connecticut). I guess that warrants missing a Thurs night hike.

    Anyone up for carpooling from Seattle or the Eastside? Offering $10 gas $ and access to carpool lane.

    Perhaps we should reconsider posting reports on nwhikers

    Just read your TR – looks like a great trip. Sorry I missed it…and that folks felt like they had to crap all over your TR. My nagging lower-extremity injuries are taking longer to heal than expected but hoping to get back out there next week. Denny Mtn, right? :p

    Such is the nature of posting in an open forum, people will voice their opinions and others will respond. Unfortunately, this blog isn’t a great spot for reports that include everyone’s pictures. So for now I think we shake the hand that hosts us.

    Wow… Just checked out the trip report. Looks like I missed a great one. Some beautiful country. Course if I had a’gone, then I’d be adding to the problem. :(

    We certainly need to be careful about the impact and also maybe a bit more circumspect in our depictions. I was surprised at all the negativity. Lessons learned.
