The last couple of days have been nearly heartwrenching as I’ve seen rain move in to Mt. Rainier National Park.  This trip has been in the works since February 2006 and the only thing that could really ruin this trip would be weather.  I knew all along this would be possible…but based on past averages was not probable.  When I woke up this morning I checked the weather again…and it looks as if the skies are going to clear just in time.  I hope when I look back and read this it’s followed by pictures of the top!

Today’s forecast for Rainier…

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE NORTH OREGON COAST WEAKENS AND MOVES
INLAND. THE WET PATTERN WILL CONTINUE AS ANOTHER FRONT BRINGS MORE
RAIN TO THE AREA FRIDAY…WITH A WEAKER SYSTEM EXPECTED OVER THE
WEEKEND. A RETURN TO DRIER WEATHER IS EXPECTED NEXT WEEK.
