On Tuesday my son and I went to Chinook and did some skiing. Unfortunately, at lunch I left my beloved Patagonia ball cap that I've had for 15+ years sitting on a rock. Because of its sentimental value I decided to go search for it on Friday--confident that I knew where it was at...
I only thought I knew where it was at. Though sad about my lost brim, I still had a wonderful day skiing. Climbed to the 6200 point due south of Naches then skied down the corniced ridge and jumped into the bowl. Fantastic corn on Friday.
Afterwards I climbed the northwest ridge of Naches and skied all the way back to the car.

Bravo and props for putting the time in on a lost lid. A sentimental hat blew off my head while driving I-5 back from Seattle. The next day I used an excuse to see a friend to also look for it on the side of 5. I'm sorry it didn't turn out, but nice lookin' turns! Worth the travel.
Sorry about the hat. Good excuse thugh to go and get some skiing done. Still lots of snow up there.
