We will meet at the Cable Line trail head on SE 79th (just east of the Tiger Mountain entrance gate). Be ready to leave at 5:30pm.
Sunset is at 6:02pm, so we will be travelling some of the uphill and all of the downhill in the dark. Make sure you have a headlamp (or some form of a hands free light) with fresh batteries.
This is an all weather event. Short of a full on monsoon, this trip will go.
