Mailbox Peak, 4,000 vertical feet in 3 miles, ouch!

 May, 2007 in the Snoqualmie Pass area of Washington State

(L to R) Brad, Don, Janice, Morgain and Lisa ready to hit the trail, just before the trail goes vertical, breaking out of the trees, Lisa plays on the "mini glacier" on the trail, the final, demoralizing ascent (and the actual peak is not the rock outcropping you see) Don catching his breath

(L to R) We found Buddha in the mailbox, Lisa found rum in the "air mail" box (and since TNAB had verified it as real rum on Thursday night, she took a swig) Lisa and Brad fill out the log, We also found "Green Eggs and Ham" and wrote appropriate entries, the gang at the top
