Squak Mtn Lookout

Great views of Mt. Rainier in the distance. We started late and completed our hike using head torches in the dark, and had to extra careful because the toads ventured onto the path once the light went.

Black Hornet Mine Cache

Hard, dry, ground, nearly bare hillsides, burnt vegetation, this is all a new experience for us. The cache hadn't been found for a long time, and had suffered in a fire last year or the year before.
