Heavy rain caught up to us again in Jasper and we headed back towards home a day early. We did our best to drink up our Appleton Rum and Baily’s Irish Cream plus eat all of our chocolate before we hit the U.S. border. The border guard didn’t take anything from us be he asked an awful lot of questions. At some point, he looked us up and down real good, and I suspect he smelled us, and determined that we really had been camping, and he said welcome back and told us to drive on.

We drove south on Hwy 5 and never saw the sun until Seattle, and then not for long. Our destination was Mount Rainier National Park. We arrived, drove around the park, went to the visitor center, did several hikes and off and on, we caught some nice glimpses of Mount Rainier. You can see a good photo of Mt Rainier in the first photo. The second photo was a more typical view. We did plenty of stopping such as in the third photo. You can see Vicky and me on the road above the falls. The higher ground in the park was snow covered such as in the second photo and we saw people skiing down the hills. But lower ground was spring like, such as in the last photo.
