Moody mountain

Some days the sun don't shine ...

... and some days it does
PACKWOOD, WA - - We've been to Mt. Ranier National Park before and didn't hold much hope of finding the type weather needed to see the majestic peak.  We weren't disappointed.  Our first day there and our trip up to the visitor center/observation point was cloud shrouded like the top photo (taken on the 21-mile twisty trip up.)
      Day two dawned clear and bright.  On the trip to the VC, we were surrounded by snow-covered peaks with Mt. Ranier the clear stand out.  There are 15 glaciers on the peak and two are quite evident in the bottom photo.
     Tomorrow, we'll be in Kalispell, MT doing the paperwork required for our summer jobs.  Of course, the work doesn't start until July 1 so vacation isn't over yet.
