Come one, come all! Let's get together and hit some trails at Tiger Mountain State Forest, which is about an hour outside Seattle: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=321+Broadway+E,+Seattle,+WA+98102&daddr=tiger+mountain+state+forest&geocode=%3BFQSV1AIdoRK7-CG-D2Er5cKDoA&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=47.543515,-122.107685&sspn=0.244266,0.617981&ie=UTF8&ll=47.490297,-121.964035&spn=0.122258,0.30899&z=12
We're hoping to get about a 5 mi trip total, which should make for a good full afternoon. Additional info can be found at http://www.parks.wa.gov/contacts/ (though the office hours are during the week.) We start at 10 am, so folks should probably shoot to hit the highway by 9. The hike should be done by 3 or 4ish. If folks end up eating dinner afterwards, then we'll probably hit the highway to go home around 6, which'll put you back in Seattle around 7 if that's where you're going. Transportation! It is entirely possible that you, like me, need a ride out there. If folks have some spare room & would like to carpool, that would be most excellent! Just go ahead & fire a reply to this thread. Drivers, if you could include the number of open seats you have & your rough starting location, that would speed things along greatly as well. Things to Bring: * Water! Stay hydrated! * A bag lunch, to be messily devoured around noon * A hat and/or sunscreen * Rain jacket / poncho? Good socks? * Common sense If folk would like eat dinner afterwards, here are some things we spotted near by (and any and all suggestions are welcome!): http://maps.google.com/maps?near=Squak+Mountain,+Issaquah,+WA&geocode=&q=restaurants&vps=2&f=li&hl=en&gl=us&jsv=159e&sll=47.526938,-122.047291&sspn=0.061086,0.154495&ie=UTF8&latlng=47543681,-122047978,6213525810350963438&ei=B4YYSoP0H5bgiwOr0oT0AQ&cd=4 http://maps.google.com/maps?near=Squak+Mountain,+Issaquah,+WA&geocode=&q=restaurants&vps=2&f=li&hl=en&gl=us&jsv=159e&sll=47.526938,-122.047291&sspn=0.061086,0.154495&ie=UTF8&latlng=47540586,-122040780,12228600766875600800&ei=B4YYSoP0H5bgiwOr0oT0AQ&cd=7 http://maps.google.com/maps?near=Squak+Mountain,+Issaquah,+WA&geocode=&q=restaurants&vps=2&f=li&hl=en&gl=us&jsv=159e&sll=47.526938,-122.047291&sspn=0.061086,0.154495&ie=UTF8&latlng=47551933,-122059191,11084544535285385027&ei=B4YYSoP0H5bgiwOr0oT0AQ&cd=9 http://maps.google.com/maps?near=Squak+Mountain,+Issaquah,+WA&geocode=&q=restaurants&vps=2&f=li&hl=en&gl=us&jsv=159e&sll=47.526938,-122.047291&sspn=0.061086,0.154495&ie=UTF8&latlng=47543510,-122047933,14258358187578677665&ei=B4YYSoP0H5bgiwOr0oT0AQ&cd=3 If you have other questions, by all means drop me (Phil Smith) a line at 312 608 1446.
