Mount Rainier

And then cool Adams.

So you, you hear about Mount Rainier.

Uh-huh.

Yes.

Mount Adams is, they kind of make a triangle.

So Mount Adams is there too.

So when you go up on Mount Rainier and you look towards Mount St. Helens to the right, and then to the left, south of you, you would see Mount Adams.

Oh, cool.

So we went July 17th.

Um, and then went for basically three weeks, started out Mount Rainier and then ripped across and then to the coast and then straight down the coast.

Fucking sick,

dude.

I can definitely agree with all of that.

Literally a year ago right now, we were in Mount Rainier and we had no service.

And I remember being like panicked because I was like, how am I going to do any work? How am I going to do anything? But it was honestly like the best five days we had as a family.

And I think... especially, you know, this year with us, like potentially maybe thinking about coming off the road and settling down, I think has made us realize that like you, we're very lucky to do what we do.

The cooperation shown between more than 50 agencies was amazing, comforting, and very supportive.

Next, we have Eric Lewis, Mount Rainier, Washington.

On the morning of July 1, 2010, the American Alpine Club said Eric Lewis, a 57-year-old mountain climber, went missing while ascending the Gibraltar Ledges route on Washington's Mount Rainier, the most glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S., with a three-person team.

The climbers encountered high wind and low visibility on their journey, and Eric unclipped from the climbing rope at some point, according to the American Alpine Club.

Don Storm Jr. led the team and was joined by the second climber, Trevor Lane.

An investigation later revealed that Hirofumi was not engaging in unsafe behavior and the weather was sunny.

However, the cables were very crowded and many hikers were bunched up trying to pass each other which may have contributed to the accident.

The next dangerous hike we have is Camp Muir, Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State.

We had a couple of days or sorry, a couple of days in Vancouver, a couple of days in Victoria, three days in Seattle.

And then we went to Mount Rainier National Park and then Portland and a lot of, a lot of tourist attractions, museums, cute little shopping areas, uh, the famous like foods of different places.

So Portland is especially famous for donuts.

So we got to, you know, we tried a bunch of different beloved local donut stores.

Love Powell's.

Yeah.

And Mount Rainier was magical, gorgeous.

The Pacific Northwest is picturesque.

So think about what happened with that sentence.

Airplanes became flying objects, a term with no counterpart in the Spanish text, and in 1947, a term with a specific new meaning because this interview ran three months before Kenneth Arnold saw whatever he saw over Mount Rainier, and the phrase flying saucer entered into pop culture.

Over one or both poles became from pole to pole, and that is a completely different description of what he actually said.

One is a bomber flying a big circle route across the top of the world.

My brother-in-law, John, has this fixation where Larry likes beer.

John looks at the mountain and goes, "Uh, we, we can climb that." He, he tried Mount Rainier twice.

I, I didn't even look up Kilimanjaro.

I don't know how dangerous it is.

So in the United States, 1947 was the kind of clincher year for UFO events that started the whole kind of, uh, narrative, military UFO narrative in the United States, started in 1947.

And the, the person who first saw UFOs and in fact is responsible for the, the, the term flying saucers, uh, this is Kenneth Arnold, and he was a pilot in Washington, and, you know, again, a person not interested in UFOs, nothing like that, right? Just kind of a normal pilot going about his business, flying near Mount Rainier.

And he sees a formation of things that he says they can't exist.

They're going way too fast.
