Pete and Jess’ group of Coast to Quebecers were helping out at the Coastal Mountain Land Trust today — picking up where Corley and Andy’s group left off yesterday. They spent their “off” day hiking up a mountain, hauling signage. This is all part of a strategy to make tomorrow’s hills seem smaller — social engineering at its finest! Pete did send me a lovely shot from the summit, too.

All the way over on the shores of Puget Sound, Mike and Annie’s Northwest Explorers enjoyed a great first night together (replete with an epic game of “Giants, Wizards & Elves” (how come these groups all play games I’ve never heard of?)) and shoved off today for Olympic National Park.
