Today,
June 21, we returned to the scene of the crime (Falls Creek in Mount
Rainier Park) to look for my wedding ring. I'll end the suspense
right now and say that we had no luck at all. Sad but true. Ah well...
Here's a short pictorial diary of our day. And by the way, Mount
Rainier lived up to the "rainier" part of its name bigtime
today.
In Elbe, north of the park entrance, Tim was delighted to spot an
espresso stand sign.
"At
the Hobo Inn in Elbe, Bob Thurston has renovated a half
dozen cabooses he saved from the scrap yard."
"Most
of the rail cars at the Hobo Inn in Elbe, Wash. date back to the
1940s "
"The cars
can still take you on a trip to dreamland during an
overnight stay."
"'We
tried to keep them as original as we could,' Bob Thurston said."
"No longer
do the cabooses click along the tracks. "
