Mount Rainier Visit Canceled

We had originally planned to camp in Mt. Rainier National Park for about five days and have the opportunity to visit this dormant volcano. Recently, because of MA's desire to make an unplanned trip to Louisiana to visit her ailing sister, we decided to drive the coach to Yakima (where we are now) and drive over to Rainier on a day trip.

However, that day trip has been canceled. Last November, 18' of rain fell on the park in 36 hours, causing major flood damage and washing out many of the park's roads. Some roads were so covered in snow that the road repair has not even begun yet.

So we have decided to see Mt. Rainier NP at a later time.

BTW...did you know that you can click on the thumbnail pictures and open up a larger pic?
