Headed to Sunrise for easy laps but bailed after only one by Antler in thick fog, though smooth snow.   Then off to Chinook pass hoping for better visibility. Picked up some TAYers walking the road back to their car and shared lunch. The northeast side of Naches had good visibility but hard cuppy skiing.  Month 12 in the bag for my neighbor!

Thanks for stopping! The pulled pork was almost as good as the ride up to the top!

After a Naches River hiking adventure I drove by some of you folks (black subaru) packing up at the top of Chinook at the end of the day.  Wanted to throw down some in-the-know TAY hand wave, but then realized no such thing existed.
