Who would think that twenty-seven years later I’d be in a snow storm, climbing up Mount Rainer, for fun with Ron! What a lovely time we had today. We weren’t sure if we were going to cross country ski or just hike up the mountain. We opted to take our ski poles and just hike up the mountain. Once we got away from where we could see the visitor center and lodge we were for the most part alone. It was so quiet and relaxing. We hiked about 2 miles up the mountain in the snow storm.

Happy For A Reason reason’s:

1.       Before we left our little cabin a friendly deer came by for a visit.

2.       A short hike in to Carter Falls. Beautiful hike, started out on a regular trail and ended up on snow pack, but we found the falls and headed back to the car, for yet another adventure!

3.       A fun time hiking with Ron up Mount Rainer! We were very surprised how much snow there still was on the mountain! They have 140%  of their regular snow pack!

4.       A water proof coat! It was snowing, yet the snow would melt on our coats, If we hadn’t had water proof coats we’d of been soaked to the bones. But instead, we were dry, and enjoyed every minute of our adventure.

5.       A whole day of fun with Ron!
