Spirit Lake.

FYI: Washington road NF-99 is washed out just on the other side of the trail to Strawberry Mountain.

solteronita, lokitwospirit w/IRL friend, and I decided to hike Spirit Lake near Mount St Helens. We made the two-plus hour drive to find the road washed out. We started a different trail and then decided the Widmer Brothers Pub was a better idea. So all in all, it

I found the info. They just don't make it very obvious:

It's a shame they didn't make it easier to find. We could have skipped the drive and gone straight to the pub. :oO

Ha. I think I just wasn't doing a very good job of looking!

[jonboi_net]

We all should have checked. It didn't even cross my mind. Lesson learned. :)

[solteronita]

Yeah. I guess it makes for a good reason to set which hike we're doing in stone before we go, too.

Indeed! It's hard to check conditions from Walgreens parking lot.
