62 The Mountaineer 



A novelty in local walks was the long remembered 

 one when the members followed Mr. Thomas Church by 

 a trail of confetti. It led the mystified followers a 

 merry chase but proved a splendid practice in trail 

 finding. 



A particularly beautiful trip was that led by Mr. H. 

 C. Belt from Riverton to Three Tree Point. 



On May 16, 1909, a large company assembled at Col- 

 man Dock and took the 7:30 steamer for Bremerton 

 where Mr. John A. Best, of that place, joined them and 

 led a delightful walk to the rhododendron fields. 



Since these trips have been instituted the club has 

 explored the entire shore line of Lake Washington, the 

 country south of Renton, and has followed many of the 

 old trails in the vicinity of Bremerton and Port 

 Orchard. 



Fort Lawton and West Point Lighthouse have been 

 visited, and the prairies between Tacoma and Olympia 

 have twice been the route of pleasant two-day trips. 



Are these walks worth while? A thousand times 

 yes, for besides the information culled, those participat- 

 ing are benefitted by the fresh air, the invigorating ex- 

 ercise, and the pleasure of contact with wholesome, con- 

 genial comrades.
