Mount Si Training Report

HST First Training Walk

HST conducted our first training walk for the August Rainier Summit, going up Mt Si, in North Bend WA.  A good starting point.  We learned that keeping a moderate pace is a good thing.  Some want to go fast, others enjoy the walk, still some bring all but the kitchen sink, and some grandmothers still prefer cotton over synthetic materials. Something was learned and enjoyed by everyone involved.  I was thoroughly impressed with the ability of a bird to eat PBJ sandwiches right out of one hikers hands, have no milk, and still chirp out a song.   Thanks to all who came and look forward to the next.
