hike without snow.  Right now Mt. Si and Mailbox is your best bet for elevation gain and view for the central Cascades.  I decided on Mt. Si since I was by myself&#8230;of course I had man&#8217;s best friend with me.  <\/p>\n<p>I started around noon and got to the top in 1 1\/2 hours only stopping once to put on my traction devices at the 3 mile mark.  Up on top I threw snowballs for Macho while munching down a peanut-butter sandwich.  After the hike I stopped by North Bend Bar &#038; Grill for a cold beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mt.
