Here's a reverse-chronological log of some of the hikes, climbs, and trips I've been on.

Many are simply listed, some have a brief description on this page. If the date and location are a link, it leads to a report, which may be just brief text, or may be pages in length with multiple pictures and QuickTime panoramas. If there are links in the text about the trip on this page, the link either goes to another site or to a single picture or panorama.

To see the QuickTime VR Panoramas, you'll need QuickTime software. QuickTime 3.0 should work, but you can get QuickTime 4.1 free from Apple - and you are likely already to have it, it comes with a lot of games and some software.

2000, theme to be determined

 
19-20 Feb '00 Staircase Car Camp and Stroll
Managed to get out at the tail end of some lovely weather. Char meat by the river, take a little stroll to where the remaining pieces of the Staircase rapids bridge are. Shot a couple panoramas by the river for the heck of it.
20 Jan '00 East Tiger Eclipse Hike
Tiger summit to East Tiger on the road, in the dark. Had two other folks show up for Washington Trails Ass'n 'Trail Talk' social and hike. Many expressed interest, but drizzly night dampened turnout. People of perseverance got great views of eclipse through two wonderful and well timed rents in the clouds. Nice road walk evening hike, I may go back if I have to have a hike at night again. South end city light views, etc.
19 Jan '00 West Tiger III
Icy at the top, found cave just off power line road above railroad grade. We were bushwhacking to avoid the otter-slide ice chute trail. Nice sunny day views from the top.
9 Jan '00 Mt. Pete (Enumclaw)
Trail in dandy shape, had to carry the gravel to the top to find a muddy spot to dump it. Felt best yet on the hike. (See previous years for details).

Log is incomplete
 
16-18 Oct '99 Chatter Creek
Lovely fall weather, gorgeous colors, and flu-induced low mileage.

Generously invited along to fill out a permit. Meets the reputation, I'll go back.
18 Sep '99 Sahale Mtn. Climb
Boealps climb mostly populated with Green Teamers from this year. Al arranged great weather!
Here's a first pass at a giant 640x480 QTVR from the summit... 1.8 meg large, and you'll need some RAM allocated to QT movie player to play it back, too.
16 Sep '99 Snow Lake
Didn't see the lake. Nice little hike, looks like a good 'visitor hike.'

Green team classmate Prash and I had a nice 'stroll up the hill.'

Nice I-90 hike, little scramble at the summit

27 June '99 Unicorn Peak in the Tatoosh
First post-class climb-climb. wonderful break in the clouds redeemed the day.
May Hiking and Touring Hawaii
A visit to my little sister, to see the flowing lava, to hike along the coast. Made my first high point, too, to the top of Mauna Kea - by tour van. There's a hike report, we did a great hike to Waimanu Valley, and a couple pans, one of Waimanu and another of sunset from the summit of Mauna Kea.
April Rogue River Trail, SW Oregon
A forty mile hike I've wanted to do since I was a kid. Nice early season hike.
March - June Boealps Basic Course
should put together comments and a full report. who knows if I'll get to it. Check the Boealps website, and know that their courses are open to the public, with priority to Boeing employees. I thought the course was great.

Well, seriously, we did do a couple hundred feet of it.. up from Stehekin Lodge on snowshoes.. nice outing!

Made it a couple miles up the trail, a nice snowshoe outing, the snow really coming down.
