Coming into Indian Henrys Hunting Grounds via Kautz Creek Trail.”

“
Alpenglow on the Mt....and I am not saying where ;-) We were X/C :-D”

“Beautiful photos, all of you!”

“Near Mirror Lakes?”

“Lets just say it was gorgeous and lonely :-D
X/C rocks!!”

“Great pictures! Whoa! I think about that mtn and trail probably everyday. Thanks!
I hope to go back soon.”

“From Mt. Ararat, spring '05

”

“How about Emerald Ridge?”

“very nice pictures

i think i'm going to sign up for one of those RMI guided trips to attempt Rainier next summer - has anyone gone up with them on their 3-day summit climb?”

“You ain't giving up easy are you? ;-)

Early in the morning...we were hiking out-this is Ford, Hikingdrew and Rainrunner-the Mt. was brewing up the start of a massive lenticular cloud :-D
”

“This shot of the upper crossing of Kautz Creek on the Wonderland shows it:
”

“How about Pyramid Peak or Success Divide? I must resort to guessing because that side of the mountain I haven't done anything.”

“I'd tell you in email ;-) Hehheh!! But yeah..you are pretty warm ;-) But I have been forbidden to tell :-P”

“Have you ever seen big photo of Rainier in the Wilkeson ranger station? That is a photo I want to get. That is the most awesome picture of Rainier I have ever seen. I think it's taken somewhere near Mystic Lake.”

“All these are incredible shots! Whew!”

“The only town that makes Quilicene seems charming ;-) Hehheh!!
Love the RS though :-) I'll have to pop in this week and take a lookie...I live like 20 miles from there! (that is why I hike so much at Rainier!)”

“I truly am Rainier's ^%$#*
I live to hike below her snowy flanks :-D Woo-hoo!!

This is me at the point between Seattle and Spray Parks-about 2 months ago with my buddy Hikingdrew, when we did the 17 mile loop around Mother Mt..never did see Rainier once!


This is the view of Ohanapecosh as you come down the Cowlitz Divide into Indian Bar on the Wonderland..sigh!
”

“Nice pictures. You're making mine look pathetic.”

“This weekend I came within a second of losing my camera (or should I say my boytoy's $500 camera ;-)
Ford saw bear prints in the mud acround the the tiny remmant of a creek I was filtering water out of..so I got up to come get a photo...stepped on the mud in my wanker camp sandals...boom, I went down...and all I could think was " Oh ^%$#! Protect the camera!" I fell on my right hip and arm bad, covered in mud fropm head to toe...and the camera was fine..held up high in my right hand.
Limped back up and said to myself...who needs a shot of those ^%$#@#%&* prints ;-)
The other highlight of this past weekend was when Rainy and me realized that here we were hiking with 2 guys-that both had Mtsmith Specter packs on (ie..pack donkey packs) and we had tiny wanker packs on....and realized that everyone assumed the guys were hauling our junk for us ;-) When in reality we have boyfriends that don't have issues that we hike with other guys :-)Too bad though...I wanna pack donkey! ;-)

I have an entire album just for my WOnderland Trip last summer....I saw so much that just stuck with me :-)”

“So what area do you live in anyways? Rainy and me are South East King County'ers.....”

“Me too.”

“That's cool! Ya better say Hi if you ever see me on the trail!”

“Great pictures!When I was up in May there was snow everywhere.Its so green. I bet the crevasses on the mountain are freakin huge!”

“They are...in what snow there is this year left :-(”

Lol....too tired to go look at Rainier for once :-D
Spent a lot of this summer up at Rainier though...so I am not complaining.”

“Thanks, MarkO.

I will be hiking to Skyscraper Mountain this coming weekend if the weather stays as nice as it is right now. Looks easy enough.

Here is the objective:

“This was uh..3 or 4 weeks ago?

At the pass, where you can look up to the summit, or towards Winthrop.”

“Excellent, do you have a pic of Skyscraper taken from Mt Fremont?”

“I do...I'll have to find it though..lol! I also have shots from down in Berkeley Park as well. I am Rainier's slave after all ;-)”

Trail to Fremont Lookout. 10/14/07”

“Su-Weet!

After climbing Rainier this summer I'm trying to figure out how to get back and do it again. My camera broke at Goat Rocks and I didn't get any pictures of Rainier.”
