Cedar Butte/Southside Trail 1/16/2021

Looking North

Jan had total knee replacement surgery on Tuesday, 1/12/2021 and she is in a lot of pain and requires constant care. Our daughter Brittany and her husband Christopher came over this morning and Christopher and I did a hike while Brittany cared for her mom.

It was a great hike. Christopher is not a regular hiker and he got blisters because his boots are not quite right for the trail. But he did great.

We went up Cedar Butte to Southside Trail and took that to Olallie. Here is the rope that Derek and I put up a couple of weeks ago:

The rope was a big help on this little hill – it is much steeper than it looks in 2D.

We passed a really nice rock, dripping with recent rain, on the way back:

Here is the track, 6.2 miles, surely a much better way to spend the morning than on the couch!
