Welcome to our Hike the Hill blog! For those of you new to blogging, a blog is essentially an on-line diary. This blog is dedicated to the adventures of Daris and Andrew of Our Community CU in Shelton, Washington. Daris and Andrew are first-time participants in the Washington Credit Union League’s Hike the Hill.

What’s Hike the Hill? Hike the Hill is a two-day adventure bringing Washingtonians (the ones from the “real” Washington) to D.C. to meet with policy makers. It’s fast-paced. It’s high level, and it can be a lot of fun. Since this is Daris and Andrew’s first HTH, they’re going to share their experiences with everyone through this blog.

Check back often to read more about Daris and Andrew’s experiences, or better yet be there with us virtually by signing up for real-time notification of new posts to the blog. Just skip to the bottom of this page and click on “Subscribe to Posts (Atom)” to sign up for the RSS feed.

Arrival

Well we finally arrived last night after 8+ hours of flying. I am glad that we followed Joe's recommendation to fly into Reagon National Airport. The last thing you want after a long flight is a 50 minute cab ride. With the way the flights were scheduled we ended up flying in on Monday so that we could be fresh and ready to go on Wednesday morning, on the plus side this gives us the day to explore Washington D.C.

Daris and I pop-quizzed each other on the plane on the issues and I feel more confident now on the talking points.
