Heading for Paradise on Mount Rainier

God willing and weather permitting, Kristin, Kristin's mom, Janet and myself will be heading to Mount Rainier today.

That is, if Janet gets all her sewing tasks done.

The forecast today is for drizzle followed by early morning clearing. Near as I can tell we have skipped the drizzle and I can see clearing to the southeast in the direction of The Mountain.

We hope to be able to go on the hike that leads from Paradise to the top of Mount Rainier. No, we are not planning on hiking to the top. Not today. Or tomorrow.

It is a little more than 70 miles from here to Paradise. I'm thinking we are closer to Paradise than most people on the planet. In more ways than one.
