Look. It's a rock concert. No. It's the Bight of Seattle. No. Oh my goodness. It's Trail 700; known to some as Mt Pilchuck - but not to me. I have never seen so many people on a trail, going up and down the mountain in a steady stream all day, Saturday. Even when I make allowances for the ones who passed me in both directions, we're talking 600 or 800 people, or maybe more counting the zillions of (little) kids. At one point I was passed by a 3 year old churning up the mountain under his own steam. Embarrassing. It was too hot for comfort and too hazy for photography, but it was still beautiful.
