This year I've been focused on downsizing at my homebase ... but, every once in a while, my feet get a powerful itchin' and I've got to do something to soothe.<br /><br />So, this past weekend I went to Mount Rainier National Park in my Prius RV. Last year I got there too late in the season to camp at the White River Campground. So, that's where I was headed. It's a truly beautiful, magical place.<br /><br />Besides being the Autumnal Equinox on Friday, I choose this weekend because Saturday was National Public Lands Day with free entrance into the park. What a deal!<br /><br />Finally, I found out that people were being asked to volunteer on Saturday to either help do trail maintenance or meadow re-vegetation. I chose to do re-vegetation of the old Sunrise Campground.<br /><br />What a beautiful place to do gardening! I had no idea that it was such exacting work. I was one tired puppy last night.<br /><br />Here are a few pics (more on my blog) ...<br /><br /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-.../VuVVsH9qxfs/s800/2011-09-24%252010.05.41.jpg" /><br /><p style="margin: 0px;" align="center">View of Mount Rainier from the road up to Sunrise.</p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="center"> </p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="center"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-.../gWU_bMWox2Q/s640/2011-09-24%252012.51.03.jpg" /></p><p style="margin: 0px;" align="center">Once re-vegetated, the foreground meadow will look like the background.</p>
