Saw this approx 735a this morning, sliding down Hwy 119 on way to Hwy 101…first through the trees (Hoodsport area).
When it is clear, I can usually see Mt Rainier about
1/3 the way down the hwy. Today, I first noticed the open horizon & the bank of clouds above & the spectacular color– thinking the old “red sky at morning, sailor
take warning….” At the next dip in the road, I caught the shadow of the mountain
on the bottom of the clouds before I saw the mountain itself…. knew this was probably a once in a lifetime vision…..

Heading south from Seattle, there is a bend in the road where the Mountain appears right in front of you. A vistor asked me once, do you ever get used to that? I’ve lived here my whole life, and even worked at Paradise, of course I said, nope – not ever. The shadow happens every year, the real trick is having the weather play along. And this time it played as well as I’ve EVER seen it. Sigh…
