Well&#8230;at least cut back on the calorie intake.  I try to start every New Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day with a hike to start the year off right.  <\/p>\n<p>I asked Mike Curry and Rick Massie to join me for knocking off Mt. Washington on the first day of 2014.  Usually Mt. Washington is a fairly quiet hike with only a few cars at the trailhead on any given day, well today the parking lot was full with a Seattle \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Meet-Up\u00e2\u20ac\u009d group.  We took off before the 30 plus group got started and made it to the top to claim the only dry large rock available.  It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t long until we were surrounded with this group of friendly men and woman.  <\/p>\n<p>We ended the hike with a cold Mac &#038; Jack\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s at our favorite pub in North Bend, Washington&#8230;the North Bend Bar &#038; Grille.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mt.
