“Near sea level on Puget Sound, where millions of bipedal worker ants toil away their daylight hours, many of those lucky enough to have a window cubicle stare wistfully to the southeast. They know the drizzle will eventually ease, the gray pall will lift, and they’ll shout jubilantly, “The Mountain is out!” All will stop to stare at the brooding hulk just 50 miles inland, and they’ll remember why they love it here. Worker productivity will plummet until the clouds draw the curtain again, and sad eyes return to flickering computers.” –from A Hiker in Wonderland, Backpacker Magazine
My coworker Chris sent me a link to an article about Rainier. He’s going to come on our camping/hiking trip this year (destination: Seattle/Rainier/Olympic NP) and though the trip won’t be until late July or even late August, he obviously already has camping on the brain.
Ha. I haven’t seen the mountain since I moved here! That is despite driving to Mt. Rainier National Park.
Seattle is cool. If Joel and I move there you can come stay with us. If we move to Raleigh you can come there too but the scenery isn’t quite as nice.
