The last 2 mile hike at Mt. Rainier

After our almost 4 mile hike to Comet Falls we decided to hike up Skyline Trail. A very steep trail that gets you close to Mount Rainier. The trail had many patches of snow and was very slippery in some steep grades. There were alot of people on the trail and we ended going up a little over a mile. The sights from that hike were amazing. I took alot of pictures but they don't do justice to Mt. Rainier. The snow being on the trail is rare at this time of year. It doesn't look like it will be gone before more snow falls in the next several months. We really enjoyed Mt Rainier and never thougth it would be this magnificant. What a great 2 days of hiking!

David is back in Kuwait after another mission in Iraq. It was his last mission and he will be leaving for Germany in the next week. There is also a wonderful young lady, who can hardly wait for him to return:)) Thanks to all who have prayed for him and let us remember there are so many others still in harms way in Iraq and Afghanistan that can use our prayers.
