Northwest Adventure | May 16 - 30, 2008

Into the truck, 
with camper in tow
to the North and West
For two weeks we’ll go                                                                                                             
Not much planned
except to arrive at a peak
known as Mt Ranier
a destiny to seek
abnormal weather
sweating in the nineties
I begin to question
my wardrobe priorities                                      
Then glorious weather
with Ranier in full view
now that we’ve seen it
what else do we do?
Out to the coast
though the weather not good
I get a new jacket
with insulation and a hood
Cape Disappointment
though the name is real
only the weather
had that namesake feel
Yet the clouds broke up
as we left the coast
off to Mt St Helen’s
and her eruptive ghosts
Yet Astoria called us
the famed Columbia Bar
no, not for libations
but grand ships from afar
Now to the volcano
with a better forecast
overwhelmed by the views
and the destruction so vast
Just a small volcano
still blowing some steam
it seems like the 80s
were part of a dream
and onto Portland
for a couple of days
just wanting some sunshine
at least a couple of rays
Because on our way back
we’ll be passing Mt Hood
and we want to see it
the best that we could
I guess we’ll settle
for the super waterfall
pouring past a bridge
it was over 500 feet tall
A partial photo
on the way to Mount Hood
after camping at Nottingham
we’ll call the stay good
Time to head home
and I don’t want to complain
but we’re going Southeast
and out of this rain!
A last day of respite
at our favorite Hot Springs
enjoying the daylight
that a big sky brings
It could be raining or snowing
but where ever we may roam
we love the Utah weather
and this place we call home
