Shangri La, Tibbett's Marsh, Clay Pit Road, Mine Shaft Trail, East Fork, Fred's Railroad, Klondike Swamp & Coyote Creek — Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain

This WED 08Feb2023 ~08:00, i arrived at the Harvey Manning Trailhead for a ~2 hrs, ~4.6 miles of CW_Loop walk: (M) Million Dollar View > Shangri-La Tr > Tibbetts Marsh Tr > Clay Pit Road > Mine Shaft Tr > East Fork Tr > Fred Railroad Tr > Klondike Swamp Tr > Coyote Creek Tr > Shangri-La Tr > (M)

Saw a family of happy ~10 Mallards in Jerry's Duckpond (beside the Mine Shaft Tr - East Fork Tr) 😄 And 1 chipmunk. Saw no other wildlife ..

The Trails were well-maintained, in good condition and had a few muddy spots - passable though.

Didn't see any one until when i got back to the parking at ~10:00; when a SUV followed by Light-Truck came. And so i had the woods - peace and quiet - all to myself for ~2 hrs .. such sweet solitude 👍😊

Happy Trails Everyone 😄
