Tiger Mt./Earth Day 4/22/2023

Tradition Lake

As of this year I am a volunteer Trail Ambassador with the Washington Trails Association (WTA) and today was the first time I attended an official event. (back in March I did a training exercise at downtown Seattle’s REI store). The occasion was Earth Day at Beaver Lake in Sammamish.

I carpooled with one of my fellow ambassadors and we met at the E. Sunset Way Trailhead. I got there a couple of hours early and did a little Tiger Mountain hike; thus the photo of Tradition Lake, above.

The Earth Day event was fun. Here is our booth:

There was a guy in a suit taking pictures with the kids:

Love the Suit

And a woman on stilts was making bird calls for the kids:

Does NOT Look Easy

Lots of kids and dogs. Quite a few people stopped by our booth to learn about the WTA. It was a super-fun event and I sure had fun. And, of course, I actually felt useful for a change. I am looking forward to my next WTA event, which is in May up in Bellingham. This one is an all-day affair (we only did three hours today) and I am sure the time will fly by, as it did today.
