Saturday evening and a bottle of my favorite wine. Blog on hold.
Sunday morning, yesterday Hank and hiked up to Bullion Basin.
Not much to see, I think the first time I spent the night here was in 1963 with Scout troop 419. Brian, Christine and stayed here about 8 years ago and I have pass through at least 2 dozen times over the years.
This year I used the trekking poles Tanya got me a couple of years ago.
Here is the top of Mt Rainier looking past Crystal Mt.
Here is the hike:

Great day and I don’t even hurt to much this morning. It was 45° outside this morning so Hank and I are just setting out for a hike now that It’s warmed up a bit.
