It's our 31st anniversary today! What a way to celebrate!
- Found some hot springs down the trail from our campsite - that was cool and unexpected.
- Found one of the best views of Mount Ranier.
- Stopped at a scenic overlook for Clear Springs Waterfall. It was the most beautiful waterfall we've see on the trip so far.
- And then......in the distance at the head of the canyon, you could barely see an airplane. Then we noticed it was heading down the canyon. And then in the blink of an eye, the navy fighter jet (making an assumption since there is a navy base close by) buzzed us and rattled our insides and OMG - where are the ear plugs and then he tipped his wing at us and I do believe we saw the pilot in the cockpit, he was so close. I tried my best to photograph it in motion, but heck....have you ever been buzzed by a plane like that?
- Stopped for some groceries, asked the checker where was a good place to get a hamburger. She said the Conoco gas station. And man.....was she right. That was the best burger ever!
- Passed a sign that told us we were half way between the North Pole and the Equator.
It was a good day! Enjoyed views of Mount Hood in the distance. Landed at a state park in Oregon - The Cove Palisades. It's on a lake in the Oregon high desert country. Smells like fresh, desert air!
