DAY 13 Mt. Rainer National Park

DAY 13

We woke up around 8:00 and the kids took over a load of clothes because we want to wash up all the shoes and towels before we go. The kids are using the wi-fi as much as they can while we wait on the clothes to dry. The clothes are done and we are heading to Washington. It didn't take long for Paisley to be ready for a nap and again when I got her to sleep and came back up front ...we were in Washington. When we were going through Spokane, Washington we ran into traffic because of road construction. Today is taking forever.. we haven't seen any animals and the terrain is not as pretty to look at as before.
We thought that this was funny.


We stopped at a gas station and I was able to use tango to call Kandi. Kali was so excited.  We are getting closer and we are starting to see some mountains now.

I saw 4 mule deer on the side of the road. Kali started to look for more but that was all we saw. We finally got to our campsite in Mt. Rainer National Park. We got there to late to use the generator and there was no water, electric, or phone service. The National Parks campsites are a joke... It is bad enough that they don't have showers, but the last ones that we have been to don't have soap or towels or hand dryers..... I guess they are afraid that you might take a shower in the sink. It makes me appreciate the sights that have everything.....There isn't a view here, but the area is very pretty. The trees are huge and the kids found a big rock to climb on. It is cold here so we decided to have chili for supper and then off to bed.



Look at this huge tree.
