    There and back again

    Abhishek, Tejaswi and I returned from a wonderful roadtrip through three national parks, several lakes, bountiful rivers and waterfalls and most of all glistening white snow from Washington to California. For me, the most memorable parts were a view of Seattle from the top of the Space Needle on a clear, cloudless blue day, meeting a Christian evangelical conservative halfway on the Lake Angeles trail at the Olympic National Park, reaching Camp Muir, the base camp at Mt. Rainier, with just shorts, smelly worn-out shoes and my spectacles as futile eye-protection, walking on rock after plodding through snow on the way down from Rainier, catching the first glimpse of Crater Lake as the car gradually swerved to the left of an embankment of at least ten feet of snow, and finally being awed by the towering spectacle of Mt. Shasta. I managed to jot down some notes about each day's experiences and I hope I can compile it into a meaningful travelogue.
