Jim Posted August 18, 2003 Posted August 18, 2003 Rich and I decided to watch the Perseid from a good vantage point last week - atop Sloan Peak. We got dropped off at the Bedal Creek trailhead from a friend and stashed the mountain bikes in the woods Thursday afternoon. We got to the base of the ramp about 5:00 and scampered up before it got dark. There was only a slight breeze and it was fine with wind jackets and pants. Got a treat of the meteor showers - but the moon washed things out. We started down before dawn as it was so light, didn't use the rope just down climbed. A simple route but it was fun to be up there. Got on the bikes and pedaled to our friends house in Darrington. Wouldn't recommend this ride - seemed like a good idea at the time. Crummy downhill on gravel, then dusty Mt. Loop along the river. Took time to swim in the Sauk to wash off some dust. Beats working. Quote
