One view down the trail.

Tuesday, October 16, 2018: After an afternoon of shooting pool, Roger Matthews and I hiked the
Black Diamond Natural Trail south of his home. There was no elevation gain, no load packed. It was just a nice hike and a place to return to from time to time for its solitude and beauty. Photos follow.

From the west, sunlight dapples the leaves on trees beside an old railroad trail.

In the distance, two bicyclists approach as if emerging from a tunnel created by tree overhang.

A recently-constructed foot bridge over a creek leads toward a rotting snag.

Still 1,484 feet to ascend to accomplish my "fourth Rainier."
