"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

big payoff for minor effortIgnore directions in the book Dayhiking Spokane Area or you'll waste a lot of time. Somewhat steep hike at first but in under an hour you're enjoying views of Scotchman, Lake Pend Oreille, Mt. Spokane, etc on a bare summit. Continued on to South Chilco after this one.

Huckleberry HeavenWith two families worth of huckleberry pickers, we ended up with two large water canteens worth (they were all over in the bushes off to the side of the trail), which made for tasty homemade shakes and pancakes later. There were great views of Lake Pend Oreille from the top.

Harold SpriggsI made it to the summit in about an hour and a half. What an incredible view from the top. I will return someday soon, and hopefully my wife can make it up with me next time.

Main TrailA chilly evening hike to the summit to watch the sunrise with a friend. Too bad I forgot the memory card for my camera in my computer! Had a nice jog back down to the car in the waning light.

Trail 14What I remember is pulling out the transistor radio and listening to former Mariner pitcher Jamie Moyer throw a great game and pick up a win. Can't say that I remember who he beat though.
