Just An Update

I haven't traveled anywhere in the area for the
last three weeks almost. Going to Mt. Rainier
was my last trip.

Right now I plan to take a trip to the Washington
coast either next week or the week after that. It
may depend on the weather too

I don't recall ever going to the coast this time
of the year. Usually went during the summer.

The Olympic National Park and Forest is near
the Washington coast. When I was in high
school every year in boy scouts we took a 
50-mile hike in August in the Olympics.

I remember having sore feet and being very
tired at the end of the trip. The food wasn't
great either but the time with friends was the
best. 

Often it would rain for a day or two. So always
had a couple extra days planned to finish the
hike. 

When it rained we would stay and play cards or
just have fun where we were at.

The Olympics is a really fun place to visit even
if you don't want to hike.

Enjoy your travel wherever you go. Thanks for
stopping by.

Visit to Mount Rainier

Today I went to Mount Rainier. I believe this is the
first time in October unless I was small and don't
remember.

It looked like it snowed on Monday when we had
rain here in Gig Harbor.

There are some nice places to see on the way to the
mountain The Inn at Paradise was closed well
visitor center. Most of the people I saw were out
hiking. Some may have spent the day skiing or
snow shoeing. I went snow shoeing quite a few
years ago with my brothers and sister-in-law
it was a very good time.
