If you've never been to the PNW, you might enjoy these pictures. Until coming up here, you'll just have to have a taste.

Its a good place for tree folks to visit, and a solid day's drive to the Redwoods in northern California.

Four years ago I moved to WA from Lake Tahoe coming into a huge storm year. We came to see the destruction from the Carbon Glacier melting, adding to lots of rainwater from storms, flooding the valley. The river changed course a lot eating away the road and trail.

Since then, they've made major trail clearance work throughout the park (a friend works/ worked this crew in the summers). They've built many bridges in this Carbon River area, and made a lot of the trail reasonably passable by mountain bikes for 4 miles up the mountain, up to the wilderness area boundary, where we started hiking an additional 3.5 miles to the toe of the glacier.

Just a little PNW tree and mountain eye candy.

Takes a bit to load. Will have a blank screen. Only about 15 pics.

Too bad...I'd have liked to see your pics. But I'm not going to sign up and generate a photbucket profile to do so. Nothing against you, Sean...I'm whining at photbucket.

I have a Photobucket account but the link doesn't work for me. It just takes me to Photobucket's main page.

Doesn't Roger have an account there. We view his pics all the time.

Took a while to load as a slideshow. Will have a black screen to start.

Think it should work. I tested it.

I enjoyed them anyway!

I haven't linked a slideshow before. I think business owners could use a slideshow link effectively from their website, or other online advertising. I'm going to try it at some point. Off to look at what is supposed to be a dying 4-5' dbh noble fir, abies concolor. Good crane access, according to the main contractor.

Rainier is cool. I made my way from the east coast to Rainier one time and decided I was acclimated well enough to the altituse to waltz right up it.....

NO, I wasnt. I made it to Camp Muir and spent the night camping in the snow there. It was some awesome country.
