April 18, Monday: Tiger Mountain Trail 3

The track in the gray area is in the parking lot; the track in the green area is on the Tiger 3 trail. The zig zag path leads primarily southward and east of the Trail Head.

Distance: 9.6 km (More like 10.7, considering the walk from the parking lot.
Time: 4 hours.
Weight: 20-pound backpack
Weather: Global warming continues; Seattle Times reports the hottest April day on record. Clear sky and sunny. I was overdressed, with my fly fishing vet and my fleece vest. Hike went through forested area, except at summit.
Elevation gain: Roughly 2.100 feet, 
Accumulation elevation gain for 2016: 28,044 feet.
Accumulated distance hiked: 217.03 km
Food: Consumed during hike: Honey Crisp apple, tuna salad and candy bars.
Notes: This was a maintenance hike to follow on the snow scramble field trip on Saturday. I also tried map reading, terrain interpretation and taking bearings. Conclusion: I have a lot more work to do to get into shape. I will see whether I can delay some field trips for the Scrambling class in order to get into shape, since It's unlikely I will try Adams this summer.
