Father – Son Hike
November 13th, 2013 | 
Author: Recently Ruairí and I hiked to the summit of Kings Mountain in the Oregon Coast Range. With 2500 feet of elevation gain over a one-way distance of 2.5 miles to the summit at 3226 feet, this is a challenging hike. On a day with less-than-great weather at the top (~25 mph winds; hail), the view was almost non-existent. Accordingly, we left quickly after signing the Mazamas-maintained summit register and enjoying my traditional summit snack (M&M’s Peanuts). Once back in town, we headed for a well-deserved, hearty lunch.

Dear O’Mahoney’s,
I took a few minutes this morning to catch up on your blog. I enjoyed the photos and comments on your recent hike, Erin’s graduation, and Barry’s marathon experience. Beth, I like your hair! As you know, our summer was filled with greeting one baby after another! Lots of joy. Hope to visit you sometime this year.
Sending my best wishes and love,
Diane
