Box Canyon in the Mt.Rainier Nat'l Forest

Our New Happy Place





We have found our new Happy Place ... Mt. Rainier! It's what we imagine Heaven would look like. Naming it Paradise is spot on. The spectacular green meadows, wild flowers in full bloom, the ice blue glaciers and the sheer majesty of 14,000 feet summit is breath taking. The best part is we got to share it with our daughter Mackenzie and good friends, the Hatton's. Our little RV home slept 7 comfortably. AMAZING!!!

We did several hikes, including High Rock and Osborn mountain. Unfortunately, in this area, they all require serious climbs. Not good on our old knees. I kept saying, "I am too young to feel this old"!

Our RV Park was MountHaven, just a 1/2 mile from the Mt. Rainier entrance. We would recommend this Park to all our RV friends. Great, friendly host/owners. If you go, say hi to Craig and Joan. I am sure they will remember us....or at least our barking dogs and late night parties.

Off to Prosser and the wine country....Cheers, The Brondawgs!
