We took a drive up the south side of Mt. St. Helens to visit along the lakes and reservoirs on the way to Cougar, WA. This is Yeti or Sasquatch country. We took the way back through Yacolt and Battle Ground, WA to the hotel. The weather was "wet", pouring rain. It is really grown up out there with lots of homes hidden in the hills and forests.
Here is one the reservoirs just down the road from Cougar.

On the road again….home. It is too soon since we needed the break from work and the same surroundings. It was a beautiful sunny day for a trip, at least on the northern California side. I just wish we could have gotten some pictures of the Castle Crags. The lighting on them was spectacular.

Mount Everest has always been a challenge and a source of fascination. In 1996, there was a large loss of life and dramatic rescues of survivors that have made it into the best seller book list and also movies.

The story primarily covers more recent deaths and how many bodies are left on the mountain. Also, what it means to the people they left behind. A fascinating article.
