No luck seeing Rainier

Although it seemed like today was going to be a reasonably good day to take in Mount Rainier, that little volcano can be a bit elusive. Blue skies made way for low, thick cloud cover. So while there were still plenty of mountains to be seen, the one really special hike underneath the giant rock was a bust. At least in terms of seeing Rainier. A reasonably good early July day for wildflowers though. Meadows are huge. “Don’t be a meadow stomper” is the park’s unofficial motto. And, after all, it’s any day spent driving around mountains in our sweet little camper van is a good one for us!

And in the meantime, we received the following picture of our half gray house from Montana:
