WA: finally a trip to Orting!

Scouted out Foothills Trail today in Orting (Puyallup area) and
really enjoyed a hazy day among Mt Rainier's foothills. Found all 3
boxes in the series while blessed with a front row seat to nature's
show of a soaring Bald Eagle, flyfishers casting all around, cattle
& nursing calves, bison, possibly a yak (I'm not sure if that's what
was at that farm--but that's my best guess), the tail end of the
salmon run up South Pairie Creek & 3 nice little stamps by
SunSeeker. Can't believe we were the first visitors to these boxes--
come on, guys, you had a 70 day headstart! ;) Left 'thunder'ous
applause for a wonderful letterboxing day at tHe feet of tHe
Cascades. The only thing we missed today was a great view of Mt
Rainier (because the haze never lifted) but fortunately, we
witnessed that marvel up close & personal last Friday from
Paradise. ;)

See you on the trails...
