11:57 Not long after setting out, taken on the road somewhere near Bellevue.
12:00 The high rise tower blocks of Bellevue, WA.
13:09 On the way into Mt. Rainier National Park. Can see some snowy mountains in the distance already.
13:16 First stop off in the park to take in the view.
13:18 Me by the road side with the mountains behind.
13:25 I really liked this road winding its way through the snowy trees.
13:29 A river by the roadside.
13:29 Shig by the river.
13:30 Me by the river.
13:30 Me on a rock by the river.
13:39 Back on the road again...
13:43 The Mt. Rainier viewpoint - couldn't see much past the trees!
13:44 Could one of these be Mt. Rainier?
13:44 Or is it over there somewhere...?
13:48 One of these did seem to have some smoke coming out of it (although this could have just been mist I suppose).
13:49 Me with what we believed to be Mt. Rainier.
13:58 Further along the road, a half frozen waterfall.
13:58 Same again with a bit less zoom.
13:58 The further we went along the road, and the higher we climbed, the more wintery it got.
13:58 Erm, some trees?
13:58 A set of footprints.
13:58 Our car and the road.
13:59 Hard to capture some of the landscape in pictures...
14:08 Well, this pretty much marked the point beyond which we could proceed no further!
14:08 I think this road was pretty much closed for the winter.
14:09 Yep, that road is closed!
14:09 Me and the road closed sign.
14:09 Shig determined not to be held up!
14:20 We took a turning at the point the road was blocked, and followed a road further up into the mountains...
14:23 ...which ended at a ski resort!
15:07 On our way back we stopped off at a roadside cafe, for a very respectable burger.
15:30 Here's the little place we stopped in...
15:30 ...plus a picture of the sign for reference.
15:54 An interesting roadside sign... "Get US out of the United Nations" - how wonderfully progressive.
