I'm going to keep this short. This past weekend my friend Michelle, her sister's dog Marley, and i went for a Saturday slog up Hamilton Mountain in Washington. The hike was a steady 8mile loop that gained 2400 feet elevation in 4 miles and lost the same on the way back down. I'm getting ready for my multi-day i have planned with Greg and the pups (and a tenative Russell) at the end of July. Have a new pair of boots that are in need of a serious breaking in, however, my feet are what's getting broken. Both my heels came away from the hike with 1/2 dollar sized blisters. Fortunately, my soccer boots took care of opening those blisters up Monday night. Enough words, here are the pictures from our hike (and a few words).
Looking out into the gorge and out onto Beacon Rock.
