It's been a pleasant few days, now that we're over the Cascades. Mt. Hood was very impressive, but Mt. St. Helens beats it. We were lucky this time, it was clear weather and we could see the steam coming up from the volcano. Wow!
The next mornin was cloudy, so I decided to head to the beach instead of Mt. Rainier. It is so nice and cool along the ocean, with a cool breeze coming off the ocean. I can see why people lay in the sun on the beach.
Today we headed up to Olympic National Park, and tonight we're camped in a national forest campground, with the generator on and watching Raymond for a while. Tomorrow we'll be as far west as we can go, and will have to head back east. I'm kind of ready to come home, but sad too. And I'm NOT looking forward to having to head back into the heat wave...
