The great ascent of Mount Si

Enough lounging around the house and buying knick-knacks – time for some exercise! On Sunday we drove out to Mount Si, a decent enough size hill of about 4000 feet.

P3010003

Yum! An apple about two miles – just halfway up this tough trail.

P3010004

A break in the trees – nearly there!

P3010009

On top of the world – and rather bracing when exposed to the wind and snow that just started to fall as we reached the peak.P3010014

Dramatic, eh? Great pic from the wife!

P3010018

And a well deserved mini-Mount Si of grease on the way home. This is at Twede’s diner in North Bend. It’s the same diner from Twin Peaks – cherry pie and a damn fine of coffee. Still unspoiled, though!
