   Here is a view of North Bend, and looking down at the Pro-dek truck, 5th from the bottom.

   Is North bend the town in the valley?

   looking down at the Pro-dek truck  You mean the one that punk is breaking into?  Any ptoblem with vehicle vandalism when you park it there?

   Yes Ed, North Bend is  the town in the valley right next to Interstate 90 that runs East and West over the Snoqualmie pass.....

   No Vandles around here............

   If you look carefully you can see I 90 in this shot......"Rather be a hammer than a nail"

   Actually Bob, I looked at the picture and didn't see the damage. But, I couldn't resist.

   I liked the hood Kevin stuck on it for you.

   A little bit more custom work on that baby and it will be a Pro Dek truck, just like a UPS truck is only a UPS truck.

   Beautiful country you have out there. Worth a little huffin and puffin to see.

   You have any photo worthy decks going on, now? I do enjoy watching your boys work. <BG>View Image

   What is a class 4?  I assume marked trails and no ropes needed.  Is the second pic looking back at where the first pic was taken?

   Class 4 is a steep walk in the park. The trails are all well maintained 5/8" crushed rock.

   Good point.  For starters, click on his name and you'll see that he's from the Seattle area.  And at his age, you can bet he hasn't driven far to exercise  :)Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell'em "Certainly, I can!"  Then get busy and find out how to do it.  T. Roosevelt

   LOL- Ed - At my age I should  only drive to places that allow me to park at the front door...............

   I did learn that even though my job is physical, my legs are not what they used to be............Packing lumber from the front of the house to the back is not really aerobic.

   The fresh air and scenery sure beats pulling up to the front door of the Gym and walking on a treadmill.........

   I always get a kick out people that have to park as close to the entrance as they can of any mall or stadium just to shorten their trip.............Most of them are going to walk 1-4 miles anyway so what's a few feet to the car going to save them?

   I do enjoy the scenery in my own back yard. This hike was 10 minutes from my house............... "Rather be a hammer than a nail"

   LOL, I heard that! Those pictures don't quite convey the energy being expended at the moment of the shutter snap do they? I could sit and look at those pictures for hours - can't exactly sit and take those shots for hours though can you?

   I noticed you stopped to smell the flowers and take a few shots of those boys scrambling over the rocks along the way. Pretty good trick for catching your breath isn't it. I've studied a lot of interesting things along the trail myself. :-)>

   Looks like a fun day. Wish I could have joined you. I'd have probably run out of deck building questions after a couple of hours and we could have enjoyed the rest of the hike. :-)>Kevin Halliburton
