Daily Photo – Our Home In The Forest

When I had arrived in Ashford Washington, and Rainier base camp, I had no idea where I was going to sleep for the next two days. Like much of my trip I was playing it by ear, but the only difference is that this time I was somewhere I knew no one. I had to do what I do best, and that is make friends! Fortunately everyone on my Summit For Someone climbing team was awesome and my new friend David was kind enough to offer me tent space at the camp site he had reserved for the weekend. Of course I came with beer to show my gratitude.

It’s funny how when you are in the forest and you share a common interest, communication with someone you don’t really know at all becomes so easy and fluid. I love nothing more than sitting around a fire with a few beers and stories to tell. Now I am getting all nostalgic for my weekend in Ashford. Well, here is to meeting more folks around the camp fire!
