I was dragged, somewhat begrudgingly, away from Epilogue for an afternoon by talk of an evening hike to Mt. Pilchuk with my longtime friends Jeff and Dave. The three of us hiked the Ptarmigan Traverse http://ptarmigantraverse.home.comcast.net/ back in 2003. It was the trip of a lifetime and the three of us often talk of returning to the North Cascades. We finished off the evening of our short little hike up Mt. Pilchuck at the top near the old lookout tower with some food we'd packed, cold beer and rye whiskey. A stunning sunset and the relaxing ease of being with old friends was just what I needed.
