Mount Pilchuck

This was a Pilchuck Lookout workparty trip and a whole bunch of folks including Beano, B., Rollo, Norm, Lou, Bruce, Melissa, and draftee, Kelly were up there painting, cleaning and getting ready for the helio drop of equipment that would enable the restructuring of the foundation. A huge undertaking. After three attempts, the helio drop was cancelled for the day due to poor visibility. Still, some work was accomplished including painting, puttying, and hucking of rotten wood off the lookout. We're hoping for better weather tomorrow and another opportunity to get equipment hauled in. In either case, it was a fine time and thanks so much to the many people I had to turn away with the closing of the lookout. All were very good sports and I heard many kind words of support for our work. A reminder that people appreciate the lookout as a destination and that all the planning and labor is worth it! We even got one of the people that we turned away working for us painting like mad! Not to mention that it was gorgeous up there. Just as we were leaving for the night the clouds descended with only sunshine and Three Fingers and Mt. Baker floating above the clouds.
