I think they're interesting creatures, and it can be (sort of) reassuring that the mosquito you hear buzzing in your tent as you try to sleep is NOT something that will getcha.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-50445463135045203212012-07-20T08:14:12.314-07:002012-07-20T08:14:12.314-07:00i would follow that Mayor anywhere...especially TH...i would follow that Mayor anywhere...especially THERE!<br />gorgeous views...even if i have to peek around a towering blonde!<br /><br />(and thanks fore all the 'skeeter' facts (at my post), by the way!)laurak/ForestWalkArt :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00285156023840252154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-15471706365715665702012-07-09T14:46:54.959-07:002012-07-09T14:46:54.959-07:00oh - we need to plan some hikes - no luck getting ...oh - we need to plan some hikes - no luck getting to any "real" mountains for us this year, and with the local weather at 105 F, I don't even like to walk around the block! This was a beautiful pretend hike for me, though.

I...Oh, Lordy, Jill, Paradise is SO PERFECT in July. It truly is perfectly named. When I worked there many MORA staff avoided it 'cause of the crowds, but I reminded them, "There's a REASON it's called Paradise." GO ANYHOW.<br /><br />Yeah. WA summer weather in Mt. Rainier at 5,000 feet? Oh, perfect. PERFECT.<br /><br />I'm SO happy for you. Prepare for a bunch of easterners driving over and trying to buy up land... those poor creatures.<br /><br />I hope your achilles gets better. Does it make you feel mythical to have such a legendary weak point? I'm sure it's super not fun (and I know you are a hiking/skiing MANIAC), but isn't it KINDA cool that it's the Achilles Heel?? =) xobiobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404084692895907783.post-14550589437377817462012-07-07T13:36:39.723-07:002012-07-07T13:36:39.723-07:00Love the "Mayor"--what a cutie.

It was a comeback hike for me after years of debilitating Achilles problems (still struggling this summer though with it.) I'm hoping to spend a night up at Paradise this month although will likely be before the snow clears from the meadows above. Too many great hikes here on the Left Coast. BTW sunny and high 70s/low 80s here in western WA, PERFECT.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679798533713533659noreply@blogger.com
