I’ve taken the keyboard back from Neo, and took him back to Cougar Mountain.  We did the four mile loop along Cave Hole Trail and Quarry Trail back to Red Town Trail.  A loop that I, Neo, and everyone in the greater Puget Sound has probably taken at some point – maybe many dozen times, particularly at running speeds.

It was once again shockingly empty, coming across less than a handful of people, most of them trail running.  No pictures, just a lovely hike and a lot of fun sniffing for Neo.  An excellent afternoon out, Washington style.
