Mt. Rainier National Park, West Side, August 25, 2021
Jerry Pillarelli ( https://pbase.com/jfp_photo) and I have been exchanging emails for a number of years as we both are striving to visit all of the National Parks. We have both visited all that existed when we started emailing, however since then several more have been added. There are currently 63 National Parks, of which, Jerry has been to 62 of them and I have been to 61 of them. COVID has put a damper on travel for each of us, so we each hope to finish up in 2022. His remaining Park is New River Gorge National Park in West Virginia, while I still need to go there as well as Indiana Dunes National Park in Indiana. Jerry had mentioned to me that he was going to be in Yakima, Washington in August, so we agreed to meet at Paradise in Mt. Rainier National Park for a few hours. These photos are from that (slightly hazy) day.
