from the internet: A paved trail, we rode from Orting to South Prairie. passed through farmland that once prodcued 60 million daffodil bulbs annually. The trail crosses the Carbon River that runs milky white from a melting glacier on Mount Rainier. The active volcano's white summit is visible most of the way (but not today due to clouds, so we'll just have to go back :)). It's responsible for making this perhaps the only rail-trail posted with lahar warning signs, which direct trail users to head for the hills to escape volcanic mudflow in the event of seismic activity.
it was a lovely 14 mile ride with gentle incline going south and decline coming back north. fun friends, lots of bridges, and a good lunch afterwards. my kind of perfect summer Saturday morning.
afternoon visiting with Pre-K families as everyone is dispersing to neighborhood kindergartens.
