Gobblers Knob — Saturday, Aug. 29, 1998

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise
Did Gobblers Knob the easy way - via the Lk Christine trail. Spur road off Copper Creek is rough in places but the trail is great. Only had to share the lookout with one tired guy who had trudged up the West Side Road to Round Pass. Ran into the standard Sunday-PM-easy-hike-hoards on Mt Beljica (sp') on the way back. Still had some pep so I drove up to Paradise about 6PM expecting the tourists to be thinned out some (bad assumption) and did a loop up to Pan Pt. returning to parking lot in darkness, forgetting I was wearing sunglasses. Got stopped for ""speeding"" (warning) just below visitor center. Then almost hit big owl standing in middle of road near Van Trump Park trailhead. Long day.
