+WeightMan Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Today, Prying Pandora, Little Blue and myself went off in search of Iron Goat Trail. Due to time problems, and the fact that I parked in a very wrong place that cost us almost two hours, we will have to try again next week. We have set Wednesday as the day. If anyone wants to join us you are welcome. We now know how to get to the parking lot, so there should not be the problems next week that we had this week. Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hey, the Iron Goat Trail, that sounds like fun! Can't wait- what a beautiful area. Sorry we had to cut the day short- getting back to pick up my girls from school was a hard deadline. Thanks to WeightMan and Prying Pandora for being so undertstanding . Looking forward to the 'real' hike next week. But I did have a wonderful time today- the mountains were beautiful, the hills were a riot of color, we had a fun ride in the back of a pick-me-up truck, and I even had a snickerdoodle . Until next week! Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Oh- and may I add- congrats to WeightMan on #800! Quote Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I am looking forward to returning as well. This is a beautiful area with a dramatic and fascinating history. Weightman with his 800th cache today: Quote Link to comment

+Prying Pandora Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I liked the time we started at last week! Didn't have to get up so early. I can be ready any time, though. Quote Link to comment

+Prying Pandora Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I might develope some kind of eye problem on Wednesday... Peace, Nolenator Do you feel your legs getting weak, too? Unable to balance upright anywhere near UW? Hope you can make it Nolie, it will be fun. Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 The time sounds good to me. I will be at the Renton P&R at 8:30. For Nolenator's benefit the coords for that lot are 47° 28.898 and 122° 12.479. Hope you get sick, Steve. Quote Link to comment
+CENT5 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'm supposed to work at 4PM. Whats the timeline? The schedule at work is pretty loose this week and my vision has been a bit blurred as of late. (Must be the Alaska hangover. ) Also I ran into a couple of cachers from CA today.digitalfish is in town for a week of caching and I will toss them a note about this run to see if perhaps they are interested. Ahh yes. Is this Biking or hiking? I still have yet to get a bike into my geocaching supply inventory. Quote Link to comment

The schedule at work is pretty loose this week and my vision has been a bit blurred as of late. (Must be the Alaska hangover. ) Ahh yes. Is this Biking or hiking? I still have yet to get a bike into my geocaching supply inventory. Definitely hiking. As best I remember, they don't allow bikes on Iron Goat. We need to be done in time for LittleBlue to pick up her kids from school, so that may work perfectly for your timeline as well, CENT5. Especially if your work schedule is loose and you're afflicted by a pesky vision problem that seems to be contagious. What's your timetable again, LittleBlue?

+Prying Pandora Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Oops, a little problem. My van just started acting up and there's not enough time to diagnose and fix it before tomorrow morning! I'm still happy to drive, but it will have to be in Phil's car with fewer seats. I can carry 3 in addition to myself comfortably, or 4 uncomfortably. Quote Link to comment
+CENT5 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Shoot. I'm out. Kids have the day off so we have family stuff going on. Have fun. Quote Link to comment
lucyandrickie Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'll throw my hat in the ring. I'll be in the CRV which will hold five. The Totem Lake P&R is down the street from me if any one would like a ride. 47.42.966 122.11.228 What time are we looking to get started? Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Prying Pandora and I will be leaving the Renton P&R at 8:30. We will stop and pick up Little Blue in Duvall. We should be at the Wellington parking lot around 10:30. Entry to the Wellington parking is off of Hwy 2 at N47° 44.759 and W121° 05.629. Nolenator, are you feeling ill? If so, where do you want to meet us? Edit: Would you believe I had 122°? Edited October 4, 2005 by WeightMan Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sorry you won't be joining us, Cent5- it was lovely up there last week and I'm looking forward to the walk. I have to be back to Duvall by 3:15 at the lastest to get to Carnation to pick up the girls. See you guys at the Safeway tomorrow morn! Quote Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Argh! The car trouble just gets worse. Not only is the van gasping and chugging like it has a bad vacuum leak, but the rear tire has a puncture too close to the sidewall to be repaired. They don't have the tire in stock so the van has to limp by on its itty bitty spare tire for a week. I really don't want to send Phil all the way to work in Issaquah like that, but I should be able to limp it to the PnR all right. Would you mind driving again, Weightman? Please? I'll help with the gas. Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 Sure, I have almost a full tank so I shouldn't have to stop on the way to the P&R. Quote Link to comment
nolenator Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Sorry kids, too much to do at work tommorow. Argh!!!! Peace, Nolenator Quote Link to comment

Prying Pandora and I will pick up Little Blue at Little Rock at Big Rock about 9:30 ish. Why not meet us there since there will just be the three of us with you. Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Oh goody- are you meeting us in Duvall, Lucy? Quote Link to comment
+EraSeek Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I saw this thread this morning before heading out to Lt Si, and on the way thought of trying to connect up with you. Avoiding traffic I ended up in Duval and made some calls. Just about that time I started feeling ill so I continued on with my original plan. At about Snoqualmie falls I was feeling horible and turned toward I 90 hoping I could make it home. I felt sick all the way but made it. Must be the flu I suppose. Slept 3 hours and feel better now. I hope you guys had a great time. Sorry to dump out on you. I should have at least stayed and said hello. Quote Link to comment
+LittleBlue Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I am sorry we missed your company today, EraSeek, and sorrier to hear you weren't feeling well. Hope to catch up with you at a cache soon! Quote Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I'm sorry you ended up feeling so bad, Eraseek! I hope I can go caching with you again sometime after you're feeling better. Quote Link to comment
+WeightMan Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Sorry you missed out on the trip today, but it was probably better that you were in your car when you started feeling horrible instead of 2.5 miles down the trail. You missed a hice hike. Quote Link to comment
