Travel day as we had a a slower morning before driving to Rainier. The travel was easy until we got to the park proper. It was Saturday and there were traffic delays. We started to hike to Comet tail falls with a little sprinkle coming down. We did see some great waterfalls but it was also a lesson in flexibility and respecting the Mtn. The delays meant we were not going to comfortably make comet falls, grocery shop and get to it new pad in any time that felt like fun. After about 45 min on the trail we headed for food and made plans for the next day. I did slip on the way down and then instituted a new rule that anyone that slips can issue an F-bomb. Merrick promptly feigned a slip and tested my commitment to the edict. Our new pad is great and the large deck is a wonderful way to listen to the Cowlitz river, look at the mountains and enjoy a glass of wine after a big taco meal. Full family meals are in short supply these days at home, so this too was nice occurrence on the trip.
