Seeking a sunny locale to face the windy cold of a clear day, ten of us went 8+ miles down to Rice Crossing. Hiking back up, we took the side trail to Pt. Defiance for lunch at comfortable tables and "comfort stations". We kept up a brisk pace being urged along by a hyper Tiana, who had been hiking the day before at Empire Mine. We also kept up our usual brisk pace of conversations, covering the diverse topics of Ellen's mother, area history and it's ditches, what Elly does while John makes her lunch for the hike, computers, Maui, CPR, etc. After lunch we climbed the hill back to the cars. No discussion of next week...any ideas?
