Journal photo by Chris West From the top of Mount Jupiter, hikers can see the eastern front of the Olympic Range. Jupiter Continued from page C-1 the Dosewallips on the north carve deep valleys on both sides. Seattle Press Expedition members named the moun- tain in 1889. The moni- ker was an effort to link the mountain with Mount Olympus and the many Greco-Roman mythological names associated with its features. As I left the clearcut and entered forest canopy, I noticed the abundance of salal growing on either side of the trail. The shade on this portion of trail was welcome as the tempera- ture continued to climb. I was already worrying about how much water I had decided to carry with me. I was sucking it down and could feel my Cam- elBak getting lighter as I continued along the ridge for the next three miles. The trail reaches a look- out about four miles into the hike that offers sweep- ing views of the Duckabush drainage below. Hood Ca- nal and Mount Rainier can be seen to the north while The Brothers soar above. The next three miles to the peak of Mount Jupiter will test even the experi- enced hiker. The trail is steep and as I approached the summit I was forced to navigate plenty of rock out- croppings and small snow- fields. The hard work was well worth it as the eastern front of the Olympics came into view. Examining all the peaks made me realize how much more exploring I have to do. The Jupiter Cliffs on the southwest side of the mountain provide rock- climbing opportunities. Jupiter Lakes on the north side of the mountain can be accessed by a steep scram- ble down the rock faces. As I sat on the summit and enjoyed my lunch, I checked on my water situa- tion. It wasn't good - I had already drained nearly all of the three liters I packed in. Needless to say it was a thirsty nine-mile trek back to the Volvo. Lesson learned - next time bring a lot more wa- ter and hope the gods smile down upon me.

Doesn't he know that the cutthroat are right along the shore?" I almost tried to tell him that, but I took it upon myself to let him learn on his own. Soon we were both cast- ing away, watching each other as we went. The tide was about perfect to expose a new set of eddies for the fish to hunt in. Wham! I hooked a nice 12-incher and landed it and showed off a little by letting out a "woo- hoo!" This only made the fly- master change gears and tie on a new fly, as I was sure he had seen my lure and was casting with more in- tent, I hurried up and went back to casting as well. "Uh-huh!" a noise came from down the beach, as the fly-master hooked into an even bigger fish. Now it was on ... We both made cast after cast and landed four or five apiece. With each fish came a new sound and a more dramatic landing of the fish. After an hour the tide changed and the fishing turned off, as it does when the water stops flowing. The baitfish scatter to safety and the cutthroat disappear. Not knowing which one of us had caught the last fish, we made a silent nod to each other and headed off the beach. Only one path leads away from the beach at Walker Park, so we were destined to out "So! How'd ya do?" "Looks like we tied!" he replied. Funny how I am not the only one who was keep- ing track. Smiling, I nodded back and introduced myself and the fishing battle be- tween the fly-master and the "normal" fisherman took a backseat to a good, old- fashioned bull session. 'TChat was the pattern of the day?" I asked. "Needle- fish imitation, and yours?" he questioned. "Needlefish, the lure with slight orange on one side," I answered. It was pretty neat to see that both styles of fishing were using the same pattern with the same result. Pulling into my son's baseball practice, I jumped out of the truck snickering about the memory of the fly-master vs. the "normal" fisherman and thought to cross paths, and we did. Not myself, "I still won. I caught changed to a fly that more knowing how to acknowl- three even before he started closely resembled what I ,,, was using.
