Ward Member's Recommendation now in Great Weather!

This last Monday, we went on another day trip adventure and it didn't turn out like we were hoping. We still had a lot of fun though. One of our ward members told us of this place to see Mount Rainier, but we couldn't see it though all the fog. Hans and I decided that we would try again today after another adventure didn't take us that long to do.

 Here are the Palisades. They are beautiful and the area around it is equally so. We were out of the car for 10 minutes and I got a misquito bite, so I didn't want to be there long. You would think that since they seem to enjoy me so much that I would always have repellent on hand, but I don't.

 This is at the same place as the Palisades. We weren't expecting this, but it is Mount Rainier.

Okay so this is from the Monday when we went up to see the ward member's recommendation. You can clearly see the difference in the air. If you were here taking this picture rather than looking at it on the computer. You would look to your left and see Mount Rainier. We were so close to it the whole time that we were looking around for it in the fog, which is a little crazy.

Since it was too foggy to see anything we missed this lake that is right behind this lake above. They are on either side of the street from each other and we could not see it.

 Mt. Rainier

This is an otter or beaver. Hans and I are not sure which one it is, but it is in the lake that is to the left of Rainier. Pretty cold water I would imagine. Good thing this little thing is used to it.
