Water Taxis to the San Juans
I didn’t know about these guys — Island Express Charters, San Juan Islands, Washington. I’ve used Paraclete a lot. If you don’t need a car on the islands, way faster and more convenient than the WSF.

We had a great weekend. Some people that made it possible:

- Vita’s — awesome takeout and a nice wine recommendation

Rattlesnake ledge at 630 this morning
I hit Rattlesnake ledge this am at 630 — Rattlesnake Ledge Hike – a photoset on Flickr (not my photos) — a good wakeup hike. Saw no one on the way up, 2 people at the top, and then passed 40 people on the way down — it is going to be crowded up there today! Great to hit it while it was still quiet.

My close-in park of choice for quick hikes is Cougar Mountain, but Soaring Eagle looks like an interesting choice too. Thanks to Steve for the tip. And thanks also to King County for their killer online trail maps and info
