Today Charlie and I got a little later start than expected. As we mentioned yesterday, we did have a car issue that needed to be addressed…..translation: a new fuel pump for the Yukon. With a lot of luck (or blessings from the Good Lord!) we didn’t get stranded on the east side of Mt. Saint Helens where it started acting up, instead, we were able to drive to Olympia, find the GM dealership, and get a place to stay. Of course, we had to have a guy from Guam tow us from the motel to the dealership at 6 o’clock this morning, BUT the good news is all repairs were made and we still made it to beautiful Mount Rainier today! We are spending the night just outside the park at Rainier Outland Lodge staying in an original 100+ year old log cabin. The furnishings are not quite that old…actually the place is very comfortable…even has internet. I wanted the second cabin from the right...Charlie demanded an upgrade...
As you can see from the photos, Mt. Rainier is a dominate feature on the horizion in this area…we could see it from Olympia like it was a mile away, when in fact it was more like 50 miles away…it is magnificent. I know you all probably don’t want to see ALL the pictures I made, but I have included a few.
