TRAIL REPORT


Mailbox Peak, 6/2/05

Thursday - time to hike
Where should we go this week, friend?
Mailbox, but of course

No one at Eastgate
The trailhead is where we meet
Five cars, six people

Gray enshrouds the peak
The Cascade Foothills in Spring
Prediction: No views

Dan, Darlene, Larry
Early ones already gone
Patience no virtue

Don, Lynda, and Mark
A second wave of hikers
Vow made - catch others

Parking lot is full
We won't be alone tonight
Question: This your dog?

Muddy, steep and slick
Dark forest, logs, hidden roots
Conditions normal

One for the talus
Old boots of forgotten wear
Mark will learn to fall

More fog, less vision
The summit must be nearby
I need oxygen

Soon all are present
Pictures to take, shark to kiss
Dan is hard to miss

Cold shortens our stay
On to the endless descent
Talk of beer fuels us

9:20 PM
Headlamps unneccessary
Bar & grill awaits

Food, drink and good cheer
Rehashing old adventures
Can't wait for next week!

Pratt is upcoming
The Solstice is in three weeks
Oust - Mesahchie Mark
