After that trip to Prosser we were craving a road trip. So we decided to head over Stampede Pass and see if we could find a spot we camped at almost 10 years ago that had a view of Mt Rainier
We started out at our spot on Keechelus Lake on Snoqualmie Pass. The lake was high, but we found a dry spot off the pavement.
Gator and Bailey had a blast taking a quick swim.
We headed out over Stampede Pass, admiring the views along the way.
Talked to a construction worker near Lester Airport who told us if we have a cb radio the loggers use channel 2.
We headed up over another pass, I think it was Tacoma Pass. There were great views all along the way.
I noticed the wild flowers in my side mirror.
We stopped often, the dogs enjoyed this a ton. As we drove on the clouds moved in. At one point we could see the fog/ clouds wisping thru the trees. It was actually beautiful.
Gator found a hole and made her little white nose brown... The photo below does not do it justice...
We found the site that we camped at almost 10 years previous, but since the clouds were in, and the trees were significantly larger, we were not sure.
We were at an elevation of over 4700ft and the temp was 59F at about 5pm. So we baked a cornish game hen in the oven and played some kickball with the dogs.
At sunrise we woke up looked out the window. At first we did not see Mt Rainier due to the trees in our way. But sure enough it was the same spot!
It did not take long for the clouds/fog below us to burn off.

We passed numerous spots we recognized along the way, including a spot near Greewater where we tent camped with Suzi's parents back in the day. It was fun seeing familiar sights.
