Mount Rainier- Camp Shurman Aug 2009

What a beauty.....

 Jim's sister Sal(Mountain Goat) and Hubby Warren

See the trail?   Then follow it up that whole dirt ridge.

The elevation is getting to Jim.

Sadly those were some of the gifts we were 

delivering to the rangers up at Camp Shurman.

Jim and his sissy Sal

I can't remember if we were going up or down the beast at this point.

This is looking up Mount Rainier from Camp Shurman.

That tent shows where you would spend the night 

before waking to go for the summit

This is behind me from the previous shot....

Camp Shurman.

Wish I would've known about this as a summer job back in college.

Then again, it doesn't bring in much $,

Even ran into a Senator... Maria Cantwell.

Honestly, would never had recognized her if we weren't with Jim's

miss-know-it-all big sister:)
