Thanks Paul, I saw you!
I did not know it was you, but I looked in my mirror and I saw you waving.
I figured it was someone who knew the YotaTech.com sticker on the window, and I actually thought it may have been you for some reason.
Weird huh?

Hot, yes, I caught the 5 PM news today.
It is going to be schorchin' here tomorrow and Saturday.
Today was hot too.
78 out still as I type this.
My air-con has been on since I got home, as I got pretty hot unpacking my rig.

What was nice though at Rainier even though the sun was out most of the time, there was a very nice breeze that felt like natures air-con up there.

And last night was a clear night, and we were sitting around the campfire (neighbors were competing with me for a big fire ) at about 8:40 PM we could see Venus I think it was.
No stars yet, just one bright spot.

Then stars a little bit later.
It gets pitch dark up there.
You should see the mountain up there as the sun is going down on it, simply incredible looking.

It is a pretty popular campground with it filling up most every night.
Some where there for the longhaul too, around a week.

Cheap trip, not counting food and gas:
$15 park entrance fee
$24 for two nights
$10 for two nights of firewood @ $5 per bundle
____
$49 total
Can not touch that with a hotel, or even get the kind of experience being up there in the mountains.

Thanks for the comps on the rig Paul.
