just me this time.
Woke up yesterday morning around 6 which is sleeping in for me. Decided since last weekend I went 2 hours east to the Blue Mountains that this weekend I was go just under two hours west to the Cascades.
So, I got on the computer and found a spot called Chinook Pass at the base of Mount Rainier. Now I will tell the rest of the story in pictures.....
5 minutes down the road I spot this thing! Figured, thats my goal...
As soon as you get out of the desert, you climb straight up to 8k feet and see this thing
I left the house where it was 102 degrees now I am very high with snow all around me and its around 50
Finally get to Chinook Pass and this is what I see
Then I look to my left and see this!!!!
That is one huge Volcano
Drove around and got on the South side of the hill
Found my self driving around a place known as White Pass.
Got out and started walking around in the woods and came across this little guy
Get an idea of how big it truely is in this pic
Back on the road and looked up and saw this, not good!!!
My new goal, find the source of this smoke.
Gettin closer
I found myself on this little road, hope nothing happens, havent seen anybody for the past hour
Stop at a meadow thing to walk around and see what I can find.
All I found was poo
Also found this little stream
This is where I was walking around
My little one lane paved road then turned to this
After 40 miles on this little gravel road I finally saw a deer.
And with that sighting it was time to get off this road where something really bad could have happened and with not seeing any people in the last hour or two and 40 miles, it was time to go home.
The rest of the pics can be seen here.
