The image, top left, depicts the weather conditions since I left
Indian Bar early this morning - my 11th day. Fog and rain continued
as I crossed White River, headed for my reserved space at the White
River Campground. Looking west, across White River, at the campground
would have created images similar to the, top left one. So I inserted
these two photos, of Mt Rainier, from an earlier visit to the campground.
Many hikers were here, trying to dry their gear and clothing. I
set up my wet tent under trees to mitigate further soaking. A couple
hikers had just arrived with supplies, and shared beers with the
rest of us; a great end of my last full day. Tomorrow, day 12, I
would climb to Sunrise VC to find my vehicle covered with snow.
