I lived within range of the "Ghost Mountain", Mount Rainier. Some days, only the top half was visible; some days, only the bottom half was visible; some days, none of it was visible... The story I heard was that the natives called it "Tahoma" which loosely translated to "Ghost Mountain" and that the city of Tacoma was named after a mispronunciation of "Tahoma".
Edit: After doing some research, it would seem I was misinformed - ah well, it wouldn't be the first time...

Hahaha I suppose I can share some. I always take my camera with me when I go backpacking.
You'll just have to wait until tomorrow

Here's one for you guys. It's all I have on my laptop, so the rest will have to wait until tonight when I'm back on my desktop
This was while on a 40 mile backpacking trip. We came down the mountain and into a meadow, and took a wrong turn. We ended up at an old hunting shack. Had horse tie ups and all. There was a natural spring that just came out of the ground, and had been directed using wooden troughs. This was at the end where it pooled up into a horse watering area. The water was about 34 degrees, which was incredibly refreshing since it was about 70-80 degrees outside.

I have a bunch of pics I took last summer, mostly of Mt. Rainier from the Sunrise side, Cape Flattery and some of the rainforest. I also have some from summer before last, with Whidbey Island, clamming on Harstine Island, Port Townsend and more (though I have to try to find what I did with those.) But I would have to take some time to go through them all and reduce them or better yet, upload them to my Photobucket page for linking here.

Here is from the Anacortes Ferry Terminal on Tuesday.
The sun sets right over the distant islands in the middle, and it is absolutely stunning. My dad works up there year round. In addition to having the best office view in the state, he has the best office view in the state
