Sabrina Ames 5/17/2017 9:26 AMHow is everyone doing with the challenge so far? Anyone wanna point me in the direction of a New Hike? I am trying not to have to travel for more than an hour and a half or so to get there - I am familar with Saddle Rock and that area - Maybe something up Leavenworth way? Or Monroe at the farthest?-
