On Saturday November 28th, 2009 we meet up at the Tampico Church for our annual Thanksgiving Run at the Ahtanum State Forest.

We headed up the South Fork Road and found a place to pull off to air down.

We followed the South Fork Road all the way up and onto the Sedge Ridge Trail. We ran the trail up towards the Cultus Hole Rim. I (Ceg) broke trail until I could not make it up the double hill climb. Colemancooler was riding shotgun with me and took this picture of me getting ready to give the hill another run.

I moved off to the side and let the pros (Roller-Bear & Nevada) take over.

Waycrazy was next and made some nice holes for me. We both had to winch up the last part.

We all decided it was time to run the trail the other way so we all look for places to turned around.

From Red Saddle we worked our way back down to the South Fork paved road and aired up for home.

This was another great run thanks to all who came.
