Get off our lawn — or in this case, stay away from our woods.
Th at’s what a group of Sammamish neighbors are saying to the proposed 38-lot Benham Ridge development between 212 Avenue Northeast and 216 Avenue Northeast, just west of the traffi c circle on Inglewood Hill Road.
A group of about 40 residents have re-cently voiced their traffi c and environmen-tal concerns in a series of emails and letters to the city.
“We’ve received a lot of public feedback on the issue,” Emily Arteche, senior planner for the city of Sammamish.
Cynthia Dwyer, who lives on 212th Northeast, is one of those concerned with the potential 38-home sub-division.
“We’re constantly moving forward by staying in check with city hall, letting them know we’re following every move and we’re putting the word to people out there,” she said.
Benham Ridge, LLC, a subsidiary of Lynnwood-based Sunquist Homes, purchased the 8.25 acres this past fall. Th e
heavily-wooded property is bisected by Northeast Inglewood Hill Road, creating two sub-parcels — a larger 6.3 acre plot on the north side would have 34 homes and a smaller 1.9 acre plot on the south side would have four homes.
According to the developer, the probable range of the single-family homes will be between 2,700- and 3,200-square feet.
Area homeowners are worried about the potential impact on everything from wild-life, to traffi c congestion, to water drainage.
“Th ere are numerous concerns about the wildlife that live back there,” said Marilyn Favre, who has lived in the neighborhood 36 years. She noted people frequently see deer, bears, woodpeckers and owls on the property.
Dwyer is also concerned about increased traffi c on one of Sammamish’s main arteri-als.
“It’s bad now watching the kids waiting for the school buses out here,” she said. “I can’t imagine a back up on this curve, or people trying to come in and out on that curve, I don’t know how it would work.”
Valie Eberhard, who lives farther down Inglewood Hill Road along George Davis Creek, is uneasy about possible water run-
off into her backyard. “Once they pave all of this, get rid of the
trees and it’s all pavement, how much water is going to be going down and going into our creek,” she asked.
Arteche wants to assure residents the city is in the very early stages of reviewing the applicant’s proposed development and nothing has been approved. She said city of Sammamish engineers are in the process

A fl ush for the futureIssaquah ZHomes wins water conservation awardBY CELESTE [email protected]
National attention for the ZHome community’s energy effi ciency shift -ed with a fl ush of a toilet Wednesday.
“It’s .8 gallons,” said Brad Liljeq-uist, project manager for the city, while the commode began to fi ll with runoff from the roof.
Various representatives from the city and Environmental Protection Agency stood round the concrete-fl oor bathroom looking impressed.
Issaquah’s zero-energy homes have been pushing the envelope of sustainability since the project was fi rst envisioned several years ago. As a result, the developer, Ichijo, has piled up national plaques and international recognition.
Th e EPA added another framed award to the stack from its water conservation program, similar to EnergyStar, called WaterSense.
It’s been awarding shower head manufacturers the title since 2010, but ZHome was the fi rst community to receive the award.
Th e new label requires develop-ments to cut water use by 20 percent, but Issaquah’s project cut it by 70 percent.
Th e townhomes’ specialized shower heads and water meters, which give homeowners a real-time projection of water use, are among the more gadgety conservation tools. However, most of the credit goes to water cisterns buried off the back pa-tios, which store up to 1,700 gallons of water runoff from the roof.
Before water conservation eff orts like these, the Cascade Water Alli-ance expected to start running short of demand in a few decades. Now it doesn’t expect to have problems for another century, said Lloyd Warren, chair of CWA.
Th ere isn’t a future without con-servation, said Paula vanHaagen, a local EPA manager, adding, “Th is development goes a lot further than just water conservation.”

As if donating 51-acres of land to Sammamish for a park weren’t a humble enough of a gesture, ask Mary Piggott what she’d like to name it, and she would answer anything but “Mary Piggott.”
As residents are still reeling about the generous gift , the city has begun discuss-ing with residents what to do with the fi rst 16-acre donation. Th e hope is to have a park open by October.
Th e site has extensive wetlands, but Pigott and her family have maintained a network of trails with names and signage. Th ey came about so that the family could fi nd their way on the huge property.
Pigott did place some conditions on the deal.
Th ere will be no formal athletic fi elds, large buildings or mining. It’s meant to be a passive park, a place to enjoy nature, ad-venture and exploration. Low-impact ac-tive uses are OK, but any sports meadows shall accommodate more than one use.
Th ere is a “nature defi cit disorder” among children these days, said Aron Johnson of the Heritage Society.
Th e space also has steep slopes, streams and a huge boulder called “big rock.”
Th e consensus agreed to keep this park simple, and maybe a little diff erent — a place that encouraged children to explore and discover.
“As much as possible, if we could leave this park as unstructured as possible, that’s where the adventure is,” Johnson said. “Th e opportunity to wander is so impor-tant. Th ere’s so much topography; it’s a microcosm of the Plateau.”
Th is project marks the fi rst time that parks and recreation staff — not a con-sultant — are doing the design work for a park. Parks and recreation director Jesse Richardson said the process will take four to six months.
Th e city hosted its fi rst discussion last week, which was full of hopes for what the space could become. Th e staff started to also address fears from nearby residents.
Adjacent neighbors were concerned
about their privacy. Richardson said con-nectivity is an issue to be dealt with due to surrounding properties that are private. Some of the existing trails parallel the prop-erty lines. Th e city hopes to create privacy buff ers. Also, neither site can accommodate a large parking lot.
Th e park is accessed at Southeast 8th Street and 218th Avenue Southeast. A second parcel, which Pigott plans to turn over to the city in the next fi ve to seven years, is 20.4 acres, and connects with the 8th Street Park at the southeast corner of the park. She hasn’t decided when to give the remaining land.
Right now there is a home and a barn on the fi rst parcel. Th e barn is being used for the department’s maintenance equipment. Th at house, Pigott said, is only vaguely historical because it has been remodeled. It’s possible that the home could be used as an activity center.
Th e second parcel will eventually be home to the Reard home. Built in 1895, it is the oldest house in Sammamish, according to Ella Moore, president of the Sammamish Heritage Society. Th e house was moved from its original site and sits on cribbing at the corner of 20th and 212th waiting to be moved to the new park.
“It’s signifi cant because of its connection to the farming history in Sammamish,” said Johnson of the Heritage Society.
A portion of the Reard home must be used as a museum to satisfy grant require-ments from 4culture of King County, which to date has given $9,200 in one grant and another $28,850 in a second grant, called a bricks and mortar grant, to build a founda-tion for the Reard home. Th e society also received a $500 grant from the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.
Th ere is a small house (800 square feet, approximately) with an outbuilding that is an old-fashioned sauna with a wood-stove, which will be retained. One citizen suggested the little house could be used as an overnight camp cabin for girl scouts. Moore said the sauna is the traditional Scandinavian sauna, which also has histori-cal signifi cance.

An unfortunate side effect of living an active life is having joints
that wear out while you’re still busy using them. But there’s no
reason to hang it up when you can come to Swedish. We’ve done
more joint replacements than any other health-care system in the area.
Swedish was also the first in Western Washington to perform
MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted joint-replacement surgery that results
in shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.

For the fi rst time in its history, the Sammamish Police Department will add volunteer reserve offi cers to augment its force.
Th e department is in the process of fi lling fi ve per-manent volunteer positions and will hold an informa-tional seminar for those interested from 7 to 9 p.m., Monday, Jan. 30 at Samma-mish City Hall.
“We’ve had a lot of people
interested because it is a very unique opportunity to serve their community,” said Sgt. Jessica Sullivan.
Reserve offi cers will be asked to work a minimum of 32 hours per month dur-ing the fi rst year training period, and then 20 hours per month thereaft er. Th ey will respond to calls, have full arresting authority and will also work community events like Fourth on the Plateau.
Sullivan said there is no prior police experience
necessary, but it is prefer-able if candidates live in Sammamish.
Th e King County Sher-iff ’s Offi ce, which contracts with the city of Samma-mish, has had a volunteer program before, but this is the fi rst time volunteers will be specifi cally designated to Sammamish.
Sullivan said the types of people who now volunteer for the KCSO vary from a pastor, to a Boeing worker, to a local business owner.
“Th ey really comes from
all walks of life, diff erent backgrounds,” she said. “Th ey’re typically the kind of people who say I’ve al-ways wanted to be a cop.”
Once hired, volunteers will be required go through the State Reserve Police Academy and be required to undergo 300 hours of training before they are ready.
Sullivan said the academy will take place in November and volunteers should be fully self suffi cient by spring of 2013.
Th ose interested in at-
tending Monday’s reserve offi cer seminar should RSVP with Sgt. Jessica
Sullivan at 425-295-0776, or email [email protected].

Community stepped upI wanted to publicly acknowl-
edge and thank everyone who participated in our Adopt-A-Fam-ily program – especially CHAP-TERS, the PTSA at Chestnut Hill Academy, who went above and beyond by helping 17 families. In all, 111 YES families, including 291 children and 137 parents or caretakers, had a joyous Christ-mas that included clothing, toys and gift cards for food.
These holiday donations were on top of the fi nancial contribu-tions that poured in during the last few weeks of the year, help-ing YES reach our highest-ever annual fund development goal. Because of the generosity of indi-viduals, organizations, businesses and foundations, Eastside kids in crisis can get the help they need, regardless of the family’s ability to pay.
Every year since YES was founded in 1968, the community has stepped up to show that it cares for youth. I am so apprecia-tive and humbled by what this means to the kids and families we serve.
Like many human service agencies, YES is learning to do more with less. While govern-ment subsidies and donations are being squeezed, YES experienced a 24 percent increase in amount of uncompensated care we provided to over 739 clients who could not afford to pay for the care they needed.
The support of the community
means youth struggling with emotional distress, molestation, physical violence or substance abuse are seen by a caring and qualifi ed counselor as soon as possible.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
Patti Skelton-McGougan, Executive Director, Youth Eastside Services
Why the delay on HOV lanes?
Prior to the Prop One vote in 2008, Sound Transit promised “Travel times across 1-90 for vehicles would also improve or remain similar with East Link.”
East Link would add a fourth lane for HOV traffi c to the outer bridges to make up for the center bridge closure for light rail.
The Washington State Depart-ment of Transportation presum-ably has the responsibility for cer-
tifying the modifi ed outer bridge has adequate capacity for current and future vehicular traffi c before allowing ST to shut down the center bridge.
Common sense would dictate that Sound Transit and the DOT work together to quickly demon-strate the modifi ed outer bridges meet these requirements.
An early bridge modifi cation immediately eases the conges-tion cross-lake commuters have already endured for far too long. An early DOT certifi cation of the modifi ed outer bridges’ capacity for future vehicle traffi c minimiz-es money spent on light rail if the resulting congestion is excessive.
Yet, their current East Link plan delays adding the HOV lanes until at least 2015. Both organiza-tions should be asked to explain the delay.

Our state is on the verge of giving gay and lesbian couples the right to be married. It’s long overdue and deserves to be passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Chris
Gregoire.It seems like such a simple thing: letting two people who want
to be married be able to do it. Unfortunately, the issue, which rubs some people’s moral core the wrong way, has been allowed to pre-vent what is an entirely sensible measure.
Three Eastside legislators, Sens. Steve Litzow (R – 41st District, Mercer Island), Rodney Tom (D – 48th District, Bellevue), and Rep. Glenn Anderson (R – 5th District, Fall City) have stepped forward to support the legislation. All see clearly the essential issue here: it is a civil right.
Litzow, who considers himself a “big supporter of non-discrimi-nation,” puts it simply, saying “it’s the right thing to do.”
Tom’s take is that “there should be a separation of church and state.” We agree. Sadly, that’s where much of the problem with this right issue lies.
Many religious denominations insist that marriage must be be-tween a man and a woman. However, we’re talking about civil mar-riage. Since no church would be forced to marry same-sex couples, or be punished if they refuse, their argument clearly is based on their view of morality. (Interestingly, since they feel that marriage is such a core value, we don’t see them lobbying Olympia to make divorce a crime.)
The key here is that denying two males or two females the right to marry denies them equal protection under the law. After all, there is nothing intrinsically different about male-female marriage and same-sex marriage other than pro-creation.
Marriage, civil or religions, as Anderson notes, helps the social order by allowing for an “orderly transfer of property rights for the collective good.” Also, he argues, correctly, that homosexual-ity, while less frequent than heterosexuality, is a “norman genetic expression of human biology.”
We know that same-sex marriage is controversial and that pas-sage of a law won’t change attitudes overnight. As Anderson cor-rectly observes, “it took almost 100 years from the ratifi cation the 14th Amendment after the American Civil War until the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s.”
Church and state are separate in this country. Government can’t tell churches what to believe and churches can’t tell government what to do or not do.
Those who don’t agree with same-sex marriage still have one op-tion – they don’t have to attend the ceremony.
– Craig Groshart, Bellevue/Issaquah Reporter

LETTERSEDITORIAL
I’m starting to wonder if the state’s budget prob-lems mean it will no longer be able to co-manage natural resources with the treaty tribes. Like
most of state government, natural resources agencies are likely going to see a huge hit during this upcom-ing legislative session as the state seeks to fi ll its $2 billion budget gap.
But there’s been at least one bright spot. The governor has wisely proposed a one-time trans-fer of $1.5 million from the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s wildlife fund to protect salmon production at several hatcheries. We hope the Legislature will sup-port her plan. Sport, commercial and tribal fi shermen from the ocean to deep south Sound would all feel the effects of the lost hatch-ery production.
Some say the transfer would be wrong because the funds come from hunting and recreational fi sh-ing license fees, but will be used to maintain produc-tion at hatcheries that also support commercial and tribal fi sheries. I would remind those people that in 2010, treaty tribes in western Washington produced
more than 30 million salmon and steelhead at their hatcheries. Those fi sh will be harvested by everyone.
Salmon production at state hatcheries in western Washington already has dropped sharply in the past decade from a high in 2001 of nearly 90 million fi sh. That fi gure could dip to fewer than 50 million if projected cuts become reality.
Most hatcheries were built to make up for lost natural salmon production caused by lost and dam-aged habitat. If production at those hatcheries is reduced or eliminated, we all pay twice: once for the lost natural production and again for the lost hatchery production.
The state’s budget problems, combined with the ongoing loss of salmon habitat and the state’s inabil-ity to stop that trend, put tribal cultures and treaty-reserved rights at risk.
The treaty tribes are committed to co-manage-ment. We know that diffi cult decisions must be made during these tough economic times, but they should not come at the further expense of tribal cultures and treaty rights or the fi sh production that we all, both Indian and non-Indian, rely on.

It was 43 degrees in Yvonne Coder’s home, when she decided to take her fam-ily to the Red Cross Shelter in Issaquah on Jan. 20.
She lost power the morn-ing before. By time she heard about the shelter, all of her food had spoiled, and a hot cup of coffee in the gym at the Issaquah Commu-nity Center was a welcome reprieve.
“Without this we would be having a tough time,” she said. “We were so cold.”
She typed away at her laptop, Internet connection was spotty, while her daugh-ter focused on a paperback book. People trickled in throughout the day as the word spread, most just look-ing for a place to charge their cell phones and iPads.
Bill Sammons heard about it from a friend down in Cal-ifornia, who checked online. He works from home most days, so the storm didn’t bother him much until he lost power Thursday night, he said.
The shelter was open until
Sunday, when most power was restored in Issaquah and Sammamish. A couple hundred people had used the service.
Power outages are un-usual for Issaquah’s Valley floor, Coder said. She was rightfully afraid it would be a couple days before power came on.
The power transmission station near Tradition Lake completely lost power. The falling trees and ice made it especially treacherous for Puget Sound Energy crews to navigate.
The shelter opened at 8:30 Thursday night, after the
city debated what to do. It’s not typical for Issaquah to provide overnight shelter.
Several people came in for hot showers, including Bob Shea who lives at Tent City 4. The snow wasn’t a big deal for the tent community until they lost power, he said. “We get used to the weather.”
The major pain for him has been getting to work at Boeing Field or getting to community college in Se-attle. A 40-minute bus ride turned into two hours with the snow.
It could be worse, he said. “It seems like they’re coping a lot better than usual.”

A picture of a melting snowman deco-rated a paper sign in Georgia Manning’s gift shop window – Snowmaggedon Sale, everything 20 percent off.
After losing several days of business from last week’s power outages, which amounts to about $1,000 in revenue, her hope was tempt customers to come in to Arts West Unique Gifts at Gilman Village.
While most Issaquah families struggled to keep their homes warm in a power outage, which affected 18,000 homes, busi-nesses were hit even harder with a half-week of lost sales and, for some, thousands of dollars in spoiled food.
Puget Sound Energy hasn’t seen such a destructive storm since 2006, said spokes-person Gretchen Aliabadi. The Lake Tradi-tion transmission switching station, just behind Issaquah High School, completely lost power.
With trees coming down along the ac-cess road, it wasn’t safe for crews to go into the woods, much less fix the problem until Friday.
While freezing rain continued to fall last Thursday, Stan Phillips was trash-ing spoiled ribs and pork shoulder at his barbecue place on Front Street. He hopes insurance will help cover some of the loss, but it won’t make up for the four days his employees couldn’t work. He sent them home early Tuesday and they didn’t return until Sunday.
When the power went out the next day at Fischer Meats, owner Chris Chiechi tightened the doors on his meat locker and closed shop until he got power back Saturday. His refrigerator kept his cuts cool
until the power came back. Like most, his big loss was sales.“Anytime you lose 50 percent of the
week’s revenue, it’s a big deal,” he said. “Once those sales are gone, they’re gone.”
Lights came back on for the final 1,000 customers Monday. Once the crews could fix the transmission station, it was then a matter of clearing fallen trees on smaller connections,
About half of King County’s transmis-sion lines lost power, most of them from Issaquah south. There was so much tree damage, the city closed seven roads.
When the power came back on, Jamie Reynolds, manager of the Rolling Log Tav-ern, couldn’t have been happier to return to work. A leak in the roof caused a major mess behind the bar, but as a mother of five, she rather choose her time off.
“I’m almost wondering if it’d pay to keep a generator,” she said. “Issaquah got hit particularly hard.”

of conducting their own thorough reviews, includ-ing wildlife, traffic, wet-land and geotech reports.
“We’ve gotten a lot of negative feedback,” she said. “I think a lot of it is that people aren’t familiar with the city’s procedures.”
Arteche said she sympa-thizes with resident’s other concerns like loss of trees and construction noise.
“There’s other concerns the city simply can’t ad-dress,” she said. “It’s hard for people to see things change and I completely understand.”
Bob Vick, senior vice president of Sundquist Homes, has a goal of set-ting the Benham Ridge development in motion by June.
“If possible, if we can get through the entitle-ment process in a timely manner, we’d like to start laying the groundwork this summer and we would start vertical con-struction by the end of the year,” he said.
According to Arteche, it typically takes eight months — sometimes less, sometimes more — before a hearing examiner makes a decision as to whether a property will be built. She said citizens will also have an opportunity to participate in a public comment session before any final decision is made.
It’s safe to say there will be a certain group of Sammamish residents on hand, whenever that time rolls around.
“When I drive by there and think that it could be gone, it makes me sick,” Dwyer said. “It’s just too beautiful.”

REPORTER Q/A | California fi lmmaker Lauren Parsekian
Lauren Parsekian, a 25-year-old from California, was one of a duo that fi lmed Finding Kind, a documentary shot in September 2009 on why girls are mean. She’s coming to Issaquah and Skyline high schools this week to lead discussions and screenings of the documentary.
Th e shows are at 6:30 Jan. 31 at Skyline and Feb. 1 at Issaquah. Priority seating will be given to Is-saquah School District students.
Q What are you trying to ac-complish through “Finding
Kind?”
A Lauren Parsekian: Our goal is really to start a dialog
to mend broken relationships. And to let girls know that they’re beautiful and worthy, and that having these competitive relation-ships is going to hurt them in the long run.
Our goal is to create a kinder culture of young girls.
Q What motivated you to cre-ate the documentary?
A I had a really traumatic ex-perience in middle school. It
brought me to the point of want-ing to commit suicide, because of the bullying. Th at experience, at about seventh-grade, put the issue on my heart at a really young age.When I was a student at Pepper-dine University, we were work-ing on a documentary and I was really excited about the format of fi lm and how it could speak out to diff erent issues. I teamed up with Molly (Th ompson). We had diff erent fi lm classes together. She told me she had a similar experi-ence in high school. Th e two of us began shooting locally. It was through the stories that we were hearing that we decided to begin the Kind Campaign.
Q What did you learn through making the fi lm?
A We learned that this is an issue that starts very young.
At fi rst, neither of us knew exactly quite how young. We’d go into el-ementary schools and talk to third and fourth graders who were
dealing with issues that we didn’t think happened until middle school. Th at was really surprising.
We’ve talked to hundreds of women. We’ve seen how insecure our female culture is and really this sense of longing to be ac-cepted.
In terms of fi lmmaking, being able to edit was the biggest learn-ing process. It was really a truly amazing process.
Q Why are girls mean to each other?
AI don’t know that either of us have a direct answer to
that, and we’ve gone to over 400 schools and organizations.
Every story is diff erent. Th ere isn’t really an exact reason or for-mula. I would defi nitely say some of the cases come from our inse-curity. A lot of times it’s the adult fi gures who girls see at home. It also comes from the media mes-sages they get and the examples of what they see on TV.
Q At any point did you realize you were mean?
AMolly and I are the fi rst ones to admit when we do our
seminars that we are on both sides of this. I’ve never intention-ally tried to bring people down, if anything I’ve gone along with a popular group and partaken in gossip.
Q For those who know a “mean girl” what would you
have them say?
AI think it’s really important that people realize there is a
reason for why girls and people act the way we do.
Most of the time we sit down with a girl who may be the “mean girl” in a school, there is usually a diff erent story, whether or not it’s abuse going on at home or insecu-rities. I can’t really blame girls for feeling insecure.
Be frank with girls in telling them that it’s not OK to hurt peo-ple. When you bully people you’re not just hurting other people you’re also hurting yourself. You see so many people have so much guilt. It’s important for them to know how it’s going to aff ect them (in the future).
Q How do you address cyber bullying?
AWe let girls know that bullying people online is
permanent and it is just as hurtful as saying it to people’s faces. If you post inappropriate pictures of someone, it will it aff ect them later in life. A lot of times now people who are hiring look at people’s Facebook pages and things come up that someone may have stated about them years ago.
It has become so prevalent because it’s so easy and quick. When someone attacks through technology, they don’t have that person’s eyes in front of them, and they don’t have to look into their face and see how their actions are aff ecting people. It becomes so impersonal.

BY JOSH SUMANISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER
In the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Anthony Sanelli and Dustin Cramer knew they had a problem.
Th e close friends and 2005 Issaquah High School graduates were in the midst of a fi ve-month hike along the Pacifi c Crest Trail from the Mexican border to Canada and followed a set of footprints off course through the waist-deep snow, leaving them lost.
“Th ere was more snow recorded for the year than in the past 100 years,” Cramer said.
Closing a chapter It would seem the idea
for a hike so monumental
in scale would accompany a lifetime of experience and passion for adventures by foot, but both Sanelli and Cramer insist the challenge was an entirely new one.
“My hiking background was not much,” Sanelli said. “But it went from zero to a whole bunch in a hurry.”
Th e idea of the PCT enticed the two for a number of reasons, namely the locale, variation in environment and sheer distance.
With roots dating to the 1930s, the PCT links the John Muir, Skyline and Cascade Crest trails into a continuous route extending from Mexico to Canada. Along with the Appalachian Trail, the 2,650 mile long PCT became the fi rst trail designated as a National Scenic Trail in 1968 and cuts through the Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountain ranges.
“It was something new for me,” said Cramer, adding he had never before spent longer than two weeks in the elements. “I knew I could do it, I just never had.”
Aft er some research, the two took a weeklong trip by train to southern California, where Sanelli’s grandfather picked them up and took them the rest of the way to the border.
“Th e PCT was just kind of the end of a chapter of our lives,” Cramer said. “It was the perfect time for it.”
Getting acquaintedOnce breaking into a
regular pace of around 20 miles per day aft er the fi rst week, the two continued through the fi rst stretch of the trail and to Cramer’s surprise, found more than just the great outdoors.
“I remember feeling not too much into the wilder-ness,” Cramer said. “It was pretty close from town to
town.” Sanelli said that while
the trail was not always completely removed from civilization, the opportunity to meet people from local towns along the route proved one of the most valuable as-sets of the journey.
“Some of the people we met were really cool and extremely generous,” Sanelli said. “A lot of those people are what I really think back upon and think it was re-ally worth it. I got to learn something from them and they got to learn something from me.”
Stopping in town was also a chance to coordinate with family back home, which sent packages of food ahead on the route. But even with outposts along the way, the PCT is no walk in the park and both Sanelli and Cramer said they dumped around 50 percent of the weight they were carrying in their backpacks within the fi rst two weeks.
Aft er working their way into the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the biggest chal-lenge yet surfaced when they followed a pair of footprints off course through the waist-deep snow. Initially frustrating, the loss of direc-tion turned into one of the most memorable parts of the trip when the two decided to hike 13,153-foot Forester Pass, the highest pass on the trail.
“We had been lost all day and we turned it around and made something of it,” Sanelli said. “It was not only the most breathtaking view but it was a sense of relief.”
But that doesn’t mean it was all smooth sailing.
Th e pair hiked terrain that was some of the most chal-lenging in the US for the du-ration of the trip. Th e more trying feats included 10,000 foot elevation changes in a
single day and hiking dozens of mountain passes in total. Sanelli was laid up for a week in town aft er a poison ivy encounter and of course, there was the wildlife.
Sanelli recalled a particu-larly memorable encounter one night when he awoke to a startled Cramer altering him of a bear that had found its way into their campsite.
“A bear grabbed my pack while I was sleeping,” Sanelli said. “Dustin woke up fi rst and threw a rock at it, then he woke me up.”
Th e bear eventually left the pack, which was remark-ably undamaged aft er the animal opened it by backing up the zipper along its tracks. “I just undid the zip-per and it worked fi ne again,” Sanelli added.
Once they hiked out of the mountains, Cramer and Sanelli ended up in Lake Tahoe where Cramer made some quick cash playing the harmonica at local casinos, with Sanelli off ering voice and guitar accompaniment. Aft er the weeklong sojourn that spanned the Fourth of July, Sanelli said he was ready to end his trip entirely and it was obvious to both that something had to give.
While both were adamant there was never any type of falling out, the reality was that when they again got back on the trail and reached Bishop Pass, each took on a hike of their own.
To each his ownAft er two months together
along the PCT, through the Sierra Nevada Mountains and into the middle third of the trip, Sanelli and Cramer split up.
“Going our separate ways, for both of us, was probably the best thing that could have happened,” Sanelli said. “Literally, it was like I was refreshed, had a fresh start. I
was very motivated.”Cramer said aft er being
unable to fi nd Sanelli at the pass and then locating his camp up the trail, he decid-ed to set up a camp of his own for the night. When he woke, he was again alone, a water pump left by his friend at his camp.
“We had been together for about two months and it was obvious we needed to be alone,” Cramer said. “Th at was a huge moment for me personally.”
So for roughly 1,500 miles, both Cramer and Sanelli endured journeys of their own. Both confi rmed the obvious: plenty of time to think about anything and everything, some time spent yearning for fam-ily, friends or any sign of companionship and other moments taken over with inward questions and rev-elations.
“It’s a perspective to know where and when you are in the world,” Cramer said of his more profound musings during his time alone on the trail. “Th e one thing I realized, the most
courteous thing you can do is be true to who you are.”
Hiking alone for roughly two months left Sanelli with some lasting memories and taught some valuable les-sons as well.
“Th ere’s those days where

Sanelli and Cramer both said the fi rst thing they remember from the hike is the need to cut weight from their packs, which they did by roughly half from 70 pounds when they began to 35 after the fi rst two weeks.
Only the necessities remained: a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent, water fi lter, camp stove with cooking pot, food and utility supplies like rope, duct tape and ibuprofen. And once in awhile, a little taste of the Wild West.

HIKERSCONTINUED FROM PAGE 8
you don’t talk to someone for 24 hours and you’re talk-ing to yourself and it’s just nonsense,” Sanelli said. “But sometimes it’s not.”
Spanning northern California and all of Oregon alone gave each an intensi-fied sense of the highs and lows of the hike; Cramer said hiking alone at 14,000 feet gave him the true sense of experiencing his own jour-ney and Sanelli added that he now finds himself examining and analyzing his daily life in a new light.
“I was able to find peace and relaxation out there,” Sanelli said. “I’m still learning things about what I learned out there as life goes on back here. I learned lessons out there that I didn’t realize until I face a situation here.”
The more desolate pe-riods of the hike made for a welcome reunion in the Washington Cascades and Cramer said only confirmed everything he already knew about his relationship with his friend and hiking partner.
“We laughed about each other’s beards,” Cramer said. “And it was back on. I love the guy and there was never any point where that was lost.”
Sanelli said the time alone helped him appreciate the time spent hiking as a pair and also emphasized that while two months on the trail can place a strain on any relationship, there was never any serious threat to his friendship with Cramer, who said he and Sanelli have plans to hike the John Muir trail again when he moves back to California for school.
So after thousands of miles and nearly three months alone, two finished the final stretch through Washing-ton just as they started it, together. But with a sense of independence that can only be attained with days, weeks and months hiking and camping alone, undertaking those tasks together became more of a luxury than a necessity.
The great indoorsFinishing the hike marked
the completion of a five-month journey, from June to October, and the beginning of a lifetime of applying its lessons.
Before the hike, Sanelli studied business at Central Washington University while fighting through an injury-riddled collegiate baseball career after winning the 2004 state title at Issaquah as a junior. He now lives in the Snoqualmie Valley and
works at the REI store in Issaquah. A baseball lifer, Sanelli is also the driving force behind Mariners101.com, a newly launched blog
in the Sports Media 101 network.
Cramer had previously finished his lacrosse career at Whittier College after an
assistant coaching stint at his alma mater that brought the 2008 state championship to a program that he helped be-gin during his freshman year. He is currently working as a bartender in Seattle, gain-ing experience and saving money for pursuit of a Ph.D. in philosophy.
Both have faced adjust-ments back to the grind of daily life. But being lost in the Sierra Nevada Moun-tains, two months along the PCT has also offered a new perspective.
“I see people in a hurry all the time,” Sanelli said. “Out there, you can’t be in a hurry or you will drive yourself nuts.”
Cramer added that the trip
has left him more open in his communication.
“There is a lot of indirect communication throughout peoples lives,” he said. “When you spend times alone, you are able to me more direct with yourself and others.”
Neither has taken on anything near the PCT since and both recognize the once-in-a-lifetime element that comes with a five-month hiatus from everyday living. But that doesn’t mean the future will be predictable.
Sanelli and Cramer saw the best and worst nature had to offer along the PCT, including this wildfire. CONTRIBUTED
