In honor of Super Tuesday, I'm checking in on the coyote poll. You know about the coyote, right? In early January, folks reported a little white-brown-gold number loping through Discovery Park, too brazenly for it's own good. Eventually, there were reports the coyote stalked walkers with small dogs, skittered across porches at nearby Navy housing, and severely injured a cat. This is the sort of behavior that can get an animal killed.

In the Northwest, Mount Rainier is nearly an equal partner with the sun and the moon. Sometimes the foothills seem to disappear and the mountain truly appears to float in the sky.
Yet despite its celestial appearance, the rock-and-ice reality of the mountain is relatively close by.
The Carbon River region, in the park's northwest corner, is only a two-hour drive from Seattle, making exploring the flanks of the volcano relatively easy.
