Mount Rainier and Eastern Washington


We left Enumclaw after coffee at the Cedar's Inn. There were were many beautiful forested areas near Clearwater and the Wenatchee National Forest. We never saw Mt. Rainier because of the fog and  rain.


Heading east toward Yakima




Rim Rock Lake -Up in the clouds...








There were spectacular views of the mountains and gorges. We met some tourists from Belgium. They were amazed with the area as were we.









Our visit with cousin Kay in Enumclaw, Washington

We spent a wonderful evening and dinner out with Kay. We missed her 90th birthday party in July but we got to spend some time with her now. She looks great!
