May 24, Tuesday, Mt. Si with Tammi


Distance: 4.4 km at least in four walks

Weight: 23-pound backpack
Weather: Overcast, 60s
Elevation gain: at least 900 feet.
Accumulation elevation gain for 2016: 41,488 feet. (Conservatrive figure)
Accumulated distance hiked: 299.97 km
Notes:
Tammi Hermann joined me for an outing to get her re-acquainted with hiking. For me it was just a low stress outing at a pace of a little over one mile per hour.. Our objective was to hike for an hour and then turn back. We took 90 minutes to get to the snack bar and 50 minutes to get back to the car. We resolved to return again and continue trying until Tammi is in shape to reach the top.

The trail as depicted with Map My Hike application. The terminus is a location where there is an open flat area and some benches. I call it the "snack bar," similar to the "lunch counter" on Mount Adams, the location where climbers launch their ascent to the summit.
