| 1 mile of twisties to break up the straight aways |
Took an evening ride out towards Mt Rainier. Just for a little therapy. Was not dissapointed. Took myself down through Roy, past Enumclaw, to Lake Alder and past Elbe. There was some excellent vistas around Lake Alder and the forest towering up around the roads was something I have missed for many years. Up in Alaska, where I've been living for the last 12 years, the trees just aren't the same. No evergreens where I am and the forests just aren't as dense up there.
Coming from Roy to Lake Alder there wasn't much to sneeze at but soon as I got near the lake the evergreens started taking over. Oh, they were beautiful. Much more so than any building or skyscraper you can find in the city. The way the road cuts through the middle of the forest and is completely surrounded makes you feel as if you are a small intruder in the vastness of the forest. Fortunately I'm not seen as a threat and allowed passage.
I stopped at the Lake Alder park and parked at the swimming beach in time to see the sun glancing over the water just above the tree line. About at my turn around point there was a pasture that opened up on one side of the road giving a great view of the hills around me.
