18 of us Senior Trailblazers started at the Samish Overlook and headed towards Oyster Dome.
I was excited to see the new trail work to bypass the rooted uphill experience of the old trail.

When we got to the top, the view was fantastic. On a sunny day the rock on the top is really a nice place to laze around and enjoy the day.
As we headed down we followed Max's short cut and then on to Larry Reed's trail.

In November I used a picture of Marjan, one of our hikers for the picture of the week. She was building a kayak from a kit. Yesterday I was happy to watch her put her kayak in the lake and paddle it's maiden voyage.
Here are some pictures of the day -
Karen brought Sparkling cider, we toasted and Marjan poured a bit on the bow to christen it!
It turned out beautifully and I was happy that I got to share her joy!
