While the early rain lasted, we dallied in the Hotel Packwood and passed the time of day with a hardcore group, nearing the end (350 miles to go) of a 6 month, 2600 mile, Mexico->Canada hike. One chap, cheerfully downing his fourth vanilla ice-cream wafer sandwich (chasing a microwaved beef stroganoff), cast his mind back to breakfasting on kale and apple smoothies back in Connecticut. The rain carried on and he was opening another ice-cream as we left.
Only a few glimpses of outcrops of Mt Rainier, I'm afraid,
but several lovely waterfalls, some pretty forest, and a quick sighting of a fox in its Autumn coat.
And then onward to Olympia, pretty little capital of Washington. Population 43k ! Hopefully a visit to the Capitol tomorrow morning but meanwhile below in the afternoon sun.
