    Now that certainly was an amazing hike with one beauty of a look-off!! Not a bad place to stay for the night at all!! And look at that morning...one wondrous sight for the eyes first thing in the morning!!

      @@wendingourway Thanks Bruce, it’s a great hike with some stunning views when it’s clear out. I’ve been wanting to stay in that particular spot for a few years but it’s kinda close to the road so it’s better to wait for the off season.

    Nice hike and what a beautiful fire lookout! We haven’t hiked there, but we should! Awesome views of Rainier, wow! I guess the advantage to sleeping in the truck is easy and quick clean up! I tried sleeping in my car before once, lol, I prefer a tent too!! 😄👌👍👍⛺️

      @@JenniferLupine It’s a short hike but has some great views and there’s lots of places nearby to camp. Sleeping a tent and being able to stretch out is definitely more comfortable but at least now I know I can make it work in the back of the truck. Thanks for watching.

    thank you for another nice adventure and nice to see the Frontier in action. You definitely have a bit of snow in your corner of the country. We are dry in the North East specially in New Jersey / Pennsylvania and NY City : no rain for the last 30+ days and counting : no precipitation in sight, neither rain nor snow, not cold enough yet, we have some warm days again here and there, my last hike Friday I was short sleeves in t-shirt and didn't even bother bringing a jacket, there was no need, it was around 25 C (76/78F) most of the day. Cheers and looking forward to more snow adventures as you move into the season (here we are not apparently...)

      Wow that is quite warm. Definitely still tshirt weather. Hopefully it’ll at least rain a bit soon to help keep things green.

      @@scottalpine no rain in sight for now, everything is yellow, we have a fire ban super strict, no open fire no barbecue even in your backyard ! even using power tools is not advised (such as chain saw and blade cutters etc even lawnmowers -- though for those it's not a problem : there is nothing left to mow anyway. But a fire ban in October / November ? ! Specially in New Jersey, garden state where everything is usually so green because it's usually wet and humid !

      @ I’m hoping you get some rain soon, gotta keep the Garden State green.

    WooHoo, rising early this morning so I was the first to view! Think I gotta go do that hike, its one I never did. I wonder how kinked up you were in the morning, hopefully it was comfortable enough in the back so you can do that more often. Better than setting up a tent...Nice sunrise. You do find some nice places to camp.

      @@easycamperdandog Thanks. It’s a great hike and there’s a ton of places to camp nearby. It wasn’t the most comfortable set up in the back but I made it work, I can stretch out much better in a tent though. Being tall has its disadvantages.

    PS : and nice catch of the commet ! I couldn't see it here, even though in theory I had an opening in the sky where it was supposed to be: too much light pollution in my suburban town (New York City and all that jazz nearby)

      It was fantastic to see it. I couldn’t see it with the naked eye but took a guess and got it the Milky Way and Mt Rainier in one shot. Not too bad for a cell phone camera.
