Mount Rainier, APR 09-13 2010

Have been REALLY REALLY busy the past few days.
Managed only 4-5 hours of sleep per night. Finally able to breathe a little better today.
Here goes.

APR 09, Friday
Pretty mundane day. Last minute decision to go Mount Rainier.
Slept around 3+ am.

Mount Rainier, APR 10, Staurday
Woke up early morning to get car from downtown.
Took about 2 hours + to reach Mount Rainier with one 30-minute breakfast stop.
Real challenging journey. Almost dozed off a handful of times.
Reached Mount Rainier.

Glacier River

Awesome place. Snow appeared as soon as we passed the ticketing entrance.
Plan was to do a 5+ hour trek in the snow. As we drove up. We saw a number of trails. But it turned out that it was not possible to trek without the proper gears (snowshoes). Haha. Ended up playing with snow and simply enjoying the scenery and time spent on the active mountain.

YSH

Did a few stupid stuff. Snow was very thick. Besides flinging snow at each other, I kept racing Andy on the snow. Each race always started with Andy cheat starting ahead of count, then me pushing him down. Finally I winning. Haha. Restrooms was not common on the mountains. But each time we went pass a toilet, I passed up the chance to use. I was insistent on peeing on some white pristine snow to see the effects. Er xin. Haha.

Little Snow Figures


APR 11, Sunday
Really shagged from Saturday's silly racing and snow fighting stuff. No strength to go exercise/gymn. Went for lunch with Mark and Andy around 3pm. Finally mustered the motivation to run at Green Lake Park around 630pm. Went back to University West (my original apartment) with Andy and Mark for dinner with Wendy, Daryl and Zelin. Fabulous dinner. Totally missing the dishes in Singapore.
Haha.


APR 12, Monday
Typical day. Went to school. After school, exercised/slacked/talked cock/relaxed with Mark and Andy. Sleep.


APR 13, Tuesday
Day before L.A. trip. Not exactly excited somehow. Have been there after all. Haha.
