Our first real look at Rainier… Well we got our first real look at Rainier tonight, as we approached the National Park, Rainier was out of sight until we rounded the last hairpin bend at the top of the range we were driving across….as we turned Rainier came into view just as you see it below, the sun had just dropped behind the mountain at 9.30pm….another 45 minutes and we arrived at our lodge to rest up before we meet with Ed & Peter tomorrow and we start our mountaineering training on the lower slopes before the start of the main event Monday our time…… Talk soon…Mike & Dave
