SaganagaJoe	06/13/2016 10:31PM quote Spartan2: "Nice little report, Joe. Your photos are stunning. We were stationed at Ft. Lewis from August 8th, 1968 through late February of '69. We could see the mountain from the bedroom window of our Army quarters--such a view! When we arrived we went to Mt. Ranier and did some sightseeing (but no hiking) on a lovely summer day), and shortly thereafter it began to drizzle. Never saw the mountain again during our entire stay, as it rained or misted every day after that. But if you pick the right day, it is a beautiful sight, indeed." My dad is still active duty and is a doctor at Madigan Army Medical Center, and I live just up the road in Steilacoom, so I know the area really well. I'm glad I can get out in the woods without too far of a drive.

callofthewild	06/13/2016 04:18PM Thanks for the report. It has been a long time since I was there. I am glad that you had the opportunity to enjoy God's creation so near to your home. I have relatives that live in Lynnwood, WA.
SaganagaJoe	06/13/2016 10:55AM quote ObiWenonahKenobi: "You packed in a raft? I'm impressed!" It was inflatable and just big enough for me, blew it up by mouth and nearly passed out while doing so, ha! And no, I didn't pack it in, my buddy actually had it in his pack. I could have packed in a canoe if I wanted to. I could have hauled it up the decommissioned road on portage wheels and then taken a 0.9 mile uphill portage.
ducks	06/13/2016 09:55AM Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. A few years ago when visiting my wife's sister in Issaquah we drove to Mr. Ranier one of the days. It's so amazing!!!!!!!! There was a bike race that day and those crazy people were flying down the mountain road while we were driving up to the top.
Mocha	06/13/2016 05:50AM sounds like a beautiful area, Joe. glad to hear you make the time to enjoy your own backyard. great pictures, too.
