One of the awesome things about being a member of OSAT is it’s cool traditions of hiking up Mt. Si every Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years day. I have been lucky enough to get to participate in the Thanksgiving Day appetite builder hike the last two years. Last year we were treated to almost continuous rainfall all the way up but this year was a little different.
We had snow on the ground in Seattle and by the time we reached the trailhead in North Bend there was probably about 6 inches on the ground. I had a great time socializing with friends as we hiked up to the top. We passed a few friends on their way down who had started earlier and visited with them a little.
When we got to near the summit we ran into the main contingent and spent some time socializing and drinking coffee and tea in an area in the woods out of the chilling wind at the top. It was a great way to spend the morning and I had absolutely no guilt about eating way too much turkey and fixings when I got home.
