Mailbox Peak

Did a pretty nice hike last weekend up to Mailbox Peak. It is a nearby dayhike, and a Seattle classic I'd been told. 4000 vertical feet reaching a 4800 foot summit. Probably about 6 miles roundtrip. Steep! The day was beautiful. Below is a shot of Eina checking her mail at the top. :) Rainier in background. View of Baker and Glacier Peak up north were excellent.

There was lots of junk in the mailbox like a little squeezy dinosaur whose tongue would stick out like a gecko when you squoze it. Pretty decent blackberries left up in this area. Below is a shot from the top looking down at Seattle. This spot is just a 45 min drive up I-90 toward Snoqualmie Pass from Seattle. Tess and Tim, Little Si is the high point that shows up in the right side of this photo. We did it with Laura and Ryan when they were out here for April and Julian's wedding. They will recall my belting out Big John on the way up for the whole world to hear.

What's the story on the mailbox? Why is it there?
Nice photos, as always.

Forgot to say that I like your use of "squoze". Some Uinta Basin syntax has rubbed off on you!

That is great that there is a mailbox on the top. :) Yes, I recall your singing Big John. It was an excellent performance. Even though the acoustics weren't too great, the singing could not have been surpassed.
