Hurricane Ridge and Greetings to the Canadians.


High atop Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park we look across the bay and like Sarah Palin, we can see another country, Canada.  Victoria and Vancouver are a short distance away.  Thought we should wave to our Canadian friends. For some reason, my Verizon phone thinks I am in Canada and keeps roaming on Canadian towers.  It's amazing how close we are. 

 Hurricane ridge is know for terrible weather, clouds, wind and rain.  How lucky are we to have perfect weather and great visability, you don't even need a coat.   Speaking to fellow campers, most times the fog is so dense that you can't even see 2 feet in front of you for the 18 mile drive to the top. 
We once again saw Mount Baker, we were all amazed how it dominates the landscape in the distance.

    Here's one Canadian waving right back at ya! SO glad to hear you experienced good weather during your stay at Hurricane Ridge. I too have heard that the weather in Olympic National Park (or more specifically in some of the higher elevations) can be rather wet and foggy...

    Well, count your blessings and get out of the area.. You talked about Mount Saint Helens; keep in mind that Mt Rainier is still very much active and perceived as a "dangerous" volcano and I have no idea how far she can reach... so get ur butts a moving! haha..
