Driving to Olympic National Park in Washington State
I was amazed by the dirt devil tornado winds that were ALL over the place when I was driving from Spokane to Olympic National Park! They were really neat to watch! I saw at least 20! Since it takes so long to upload pictures, I'm going to post the rest from Olympic NP later. It was misty and foggy most of the trip in the park, so I don't have as many pretty pictures. However, I'm going to skip into my Mt.Rainier National Park visit.... Which was FRIGGIN' AMAZING!

The last picture is of a trail blasted into the side of the mountain--called the Highline trail. If you click on the picture to see the full size, you can see 2 hikers, one in a red jacket. Pretty awesome, yet disturbing in the fact they blasted out part of the mountain to place a trail.

Them hills again
In the last few posts, the picture of the people at night is me and some of the Forest Service Trail Crew. We did a moonlight hike up to Hurricane Pass. It was AMAZING, beautiful, windy and cold! We were so close to the Grand Teton, that we could see headlamps from climbers descending in the dark. Those guys are nuts. However, the full moon was so bright I guess that would be the thrill of climbing at night. The other group picture of folks around a fire is of the same trail crew and some folks from a volunteer trail crew called Wilderness Volunteers. They were so great and hard working! I'm usually by myself everyday and I camp by myself every night in the woods, except for last week having the Forest Service Trail Crew out and the Volunteer Crew near by, was an absolute treat!
