Location

The northern edge of the Ring Hill Forest , between Woodinville and Duvall

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Visit before work

Expedition

Ring Hill Forest is a working resource land, that is, it was originally logged and now portions will be logged regularly. This seems like a pretty smart plan, and the website contains a lot of excellent details on the subject.

The "trail" leading into the wood is a logging road, though grown over with grass in many points. I walked down a bit and easily found a spot near the geohashpoint for today. Not quite as near, but on the same bearing, was a very elaborate treehouse (pictured below).

After requisite photographs (no marker this time), I continued down the road. Various trails peeled off for Tuck Creek and other attractions. I decided to follow the trail labeled "Snoqualmie Overlook", and this resulted in another picture or two below.

With great success on a brisk morning walk (single digit Celsius, upper 30s Fahrenheit) I returned generally uphill to my vehicle and thence onto work.
