In early December, I had work to do at the house in
Bellingham, as well as another memorial service to attend (for Phil Z.), plus a
work party to conduct on the new trail at Larrabee State Park. I flew from one
cold place (Salt Lake) to another (Seattle) and vaguely dreaded the
sub-freezing forecast and all the outside work I needed to do. But the trail
work was fun, as always. It was a momentous work party in that we completed
that last short section connecting the new trail to an existing ridge trail. A
couple more work parties in the spring should wrap it up. After three years of
long-distant effort, it will be nice to be finished, finally. I also squeezed
or squoze in a good eight-mile hike with friends along Chuckanut Ridge, Raptor
Ridge and Lost Lake, passing hundreds of icicles hanging from the cliffs, and
ending with a scenic trek up the entire length of our spiffy new cliff trail.
