Thanks for that info Val...

You know, sometimes when we are up there, driving up towards the summit at the Jackson Visitor Center, I often am slightly frightened, looking up those steep slopes, and knowing that lots of those rocks on the road, have come tumbling down...I am always somewhat leary, that one of these days, one of those rocks is going to hit us...

But that does not prevent us from making the trip up there...I figure whats going to happen, will happen...but getting hit by rocks, whether climbing or just driving in your car, is always a real possibility...

I think we have decided not to go camping, but rather just go up to Mt. Rainier for the day, probably Sunday...

The weather here has been heavenly....70 degrees everyday, no rain(hooray, tho we need it badly), the skies are blue and clear....and this weather is expected to continue all week, through the weekend, and hopefully right into next week...its just a beautiful time here right now, with the leaves beginning to turn color, and mountains are on view, and the daytime temps are warm...

I wonder if the vine maples will be getting bright red on the mountain yet? They look so pretty in the fall.
