Three easy hikes in Mason County
are the Hamma Hamma guard station,
near Lilliwaup, Kelly lookout, on the
Mason/Grays Harbor County line and
Mason Lake lookout.
Romer said she first mapped out a
loop hike for Mason Lake lookout that
did some bushwhacking, but salal and
evergreen huckleberry bushes grew
faster than she anticipated. This made
the route too hard to navigate in the
summer.
“I publish updates to the hikes be-
cause they” re always changing,” Romer
said.
Her website, leslieromercom, has
an “updates” section with maps and
directions.
Check the site if you’re hiking to one
of the lookouts on private forest land.
Closures can happen if there’s a tim-
ber harvest and fees can also change.
Romer said she didn’t include sites
that were on private timberland with
It’s your money. Keep more of it.

“Know whose land you‘re hiking on
and know the rules,” Romer told the
audience. Romer said you should also
know safety rules.
“Always bike with a friend,” she said.

clothing than you think you’ll need, tell

and a lightweight shelter such as a my-
lar blanket.
Romer’s next book is about the fire
lookouts around Mount Rainier, with a
2025 publishing date.
She’s completed most of' the hikes for
the book except a few overnight trips.
She said she may need “surrogates or
Sherpas” for those but will attempt
them in August and September.
