My evolving plan is to try the aforementioned Big Pines (or nearby) campground Monday night.
Chuck—Will you stop at Big Pines Tuesday morning to check the weather before possibly heading further east? I'd like to meet up with you and Doug. My cell (probably useless in the canyon) is 253-973-6269.
I'm bringing a Coronado 60 H-alpha scope.

I have plans,,
Betty H and I are going to be at the Big Pines campground on the Yakima River Mon and Tue. This campground is on the old highway running between Ellensburg and Yakima. The walls of the canyon are quite high but I am sure the sun will still be well up at 3 in the afternoon. For the transit we are going to move a little ways towards Yakima,,,down the river a couple of miles to the Roza rec. area. There are mountain sheep to watch here as well as a Red Tailed Hawks nest with three young ones in it on the cliffs across the road. At least the three little ones were still in the nest a week ago. Any-way this will keep us entertained until the transit. There is lots of space here for cars and there are rest rooms and pic-nic tables.

So I'm not liking the forecast very much, yet. Are there any tentative
plans for a day trip to somewhere with a better view if it becomes
necessary? Maybe Paradise Inn on Mt Rainier will be above the cloud
deck? I'm not sure if that's often the case, or not.
Anyone have any backup plans?
Tom
