Hike up Mt. Pilchuck

Ashley and I decided to take the trek up Mt. Pilchuck the other day.  What a hike, breath taking views and great place to have lunch.  The lookout is pretty cool but often filled with too many people to enjoy but there are plenty of other places to enjoy lunch.  We had an overcast day but the views were still amazing.  Not the easiest hike we have been on but easily doable in a few hrs.  The Suunto Ambit was acting a bit wacky on the way down but here it the map of the hike.

Make sure to click through the panos, they look crappy on this page but OK on Flickr.

Evening at Alki Beach SUP’n

Seattle from Alki Beach

Evening spent SUP'n

Great place to head and enjoy a sunset with a different view of Seattle. With a full moon and great weather it cant be beat. Since tripod was stolen the evening shots are limited, its forcing me to get creative with camera placement. Check out Mountain to Sound Outfitters, great local shop in West Seattle for all water and snow needs.

Evening at the Marina

Some photos taken last night at the marina around dusk.

Lunch on the River Walk San Antonio

The Luxury SA

Went to check out the new Weissman establishment on Wednesday, it was spot on and did not disappoint. Good Beer selection and adventurous menu and great location on the river in the shadows of SAMA. They had Tank 7 on tap, what else do you need.

Finished up on the river and checked out Big hops Growler Station on Broadway. Another win for the day. A huge selection of TX craft beer on tap and a few singles to-go. I had the Branchline Rye IPA, impressive new brewery in town.
