Stunning - it reminds of palo's Into Thin Air book. A most tragic read. Thanks.

What a magnificent shot of Mt. Rainier...thats MY mountain...I just love it when we go up there...I hope we can fit going up there into our fall schedule....

I dont especially like going up there in the middle of the summer, as its soooo crowded....we usually go up there, once the summer tourists have left....fall is beautiful up there, with the trees turning colors, against the snowfilled mountain....and late winter, early spring is a winter wonderland, as all the winter snow, is still piled up high along the road, and its really kind of eerie, to be driving along a road, with 20ft drifts right next to you....

Mt Rainier, is beautiful, and its dangerous, for those who climb it...Many hikers that tackle Everest, try to do Rainier first, as it has many of the same dangers as Everest, tho altitude sickness and altitude problems dont exists up on Rainier...

I have a lot of respect for true mountain climbers...it takes a lot of grit, and determination, and bravery to climb any moutain...for myself, I would be scared to death...

Well, the company has left, tho I am now left with a sink full of dishes from two groups of company, and BigDoms dinner preparations...so off I go, to tackle, the mess in the kitchen...

See ya Later....
