Mount Si

Apparently it is the most hiked trail in Washington, but it wasn't overly crowded today by any means. Not sure if the rain kept the crowds down, or if, having grown up hiking in the Whites, my perception of a crowded mountain is skewed.

"Mount Si is like the Disneyland of Seattle hiking."
"It's a great hike if you don't mind hiking with half of Seattle."

Nonetheless, it's been a while since I've hiked and it was amazing to be out again. Highlights of the day included scrambling up the "haystack" at the summit and eating at Twede's Diner post-hike, which apparently was the diner they used in the TV show "Twin Peaks," which I've never seen.

Thanks (2 days late - I didn't have access to the internet) for the happy birthday shoutout! I have now had the T shirt for 4 days, and I've managed to wear it for at least part of the day on 3 days. Now it's in the hamper, waiting to be worn multiple days in a row again.
