November 17th, 2008 Today we took a day hike on the Twin Falls Trail. It was out side of Noth Bend across the freeway from the truck stop. The group included Jim Stage, John and Joan Winslow, Don Snyder, Dan Walker, Fred Vaness and myself. The trail was in great shape. Ferns were growing in the moss that hugged many of the trees. The bridge over the falls was sturdily constructed and the falls were spectacular. We lunched at the John Wayne Trail. These are Jim Stages pictures.
         

November 10th, 2008 Geoff Viguers joined the group for the first time today. And I made my return after 5 months. We met at Jim's Stage's home in West Seattle. After discussing several routes we headed over to the new developement construction project of the government housing near the water towers. Single family dwellings to retirement condominiums. We walked through a hard hat area and were given the evil eye by a few workers. Camp Long is closed only on Mondays so we circled back to Jim's and rode down to Alki Point. After pizza and beer at Pegasus Pizza we walked the water front. Two Purse Seiners were fishing not far off the beach and three Coast Guard boats appeared to be doing some training. It was heavily overcast, but tolerable wind and sun breaks. A great day for a walk.
