2025.11.2. Tiger 3-2-1

11/2, Sunday. Day time saving stops today, so it gets darker earlier :( Weather looks good. I took a bus to Issaquah. As usual, I visited Jakob on my way to the TH. Surprised to find him alone without other admirers, being on a weekend, in the middle of the day. Color is good today.

Tiger3 is always busy-ish. Hikers come and go. Someone put this large coral mushroom on this stump.

I had plenty time, so continued to Tiger2 (as usual) and then onto Tiger1. Tiger1 has this small tin(?) shelter. A bit too cloudy. Couldn't see Rainier at all.

On the way back, took a different trail (instead of the road) to Tiger2. This "erratic" rock was marked on my map. This narrow trail is not bad, mostly open. At some point, one can see the towers of both Tiger1 and Tiger2 at some stretch.

Near Tiger3, I could see 3 paragliders out of Poo Poo Point. Slightly less cloudy now, but all distant mountains were still obscured by the clouds.

As I walked by the usually-closed-on-Sunday community center, saw many people, even parking attendants. It turns out that it was hosting a Day of the Dead celebration. Back in Seattle, swinged by Town Hall for, yes, another Day of the Dead festival.
