Week Beginning September 26, 2022

The MS was well represented last Saturday at the NaviGator hike. A 4:45 am meet at Mt. Rainier did not put off a few hardy folks including Kyle, Katie, Ariel, Sam, Malcolm, and his wife. We were rewarded by a slightly cloudy sunrise but the excellent company made up for it. Check out the Staffulty for more details of the next hike coming soon!
