Comet Falls – Mount Rainier National Park

If there is one waterfall that every visitor to Mount Rainier National Park should see, Comet Falls is it. Van Trump Creek hurtles from the lip of a lofty hanging valley, plunging in four steps flanked by lofty amphitheater cliffs of Andesite. The falls are usually cited as standing 320-feet tall, but have been measured by the Northwest Waterfall Survey as 462 feet tall if the lower pools are included.¹

The trail to Comet Falls follows a tumbling, churning, whitewater creek upstream as it thunders through a narrow gorge of glacier-polished rock on its way to a waterfall that drops 462 feet in three tiers.   There are numerous small waterfalls and cascades and two significant ones to admire, all in less than two miles.

Heidi is Looking for More Adventure. Next stop Lima, Peru?

Heidi has just finished a trip up to the very tony town of Palm Beach, Florida.  Palm Beach has some of the most expensive shopping available in the U.S., and some of the most expensive real estate.  One property on South Ocean Blvd has an asking price of $74M and boasts a master bedroom of over 4000 sq. ft.   Even Heidi is not immune to the hype surrounding Palm Beach.

Hurricane Heidi Hits Miami!

Heidi and Hudo  have made it to Miami.  As near as I can translate, she will spend about a month in the city known as the Gateway to the America’s before moving on to Central and South America.

Hudo is still having his senior moments as shown in the photo.   Read More…

Hurricane Heidi Enters Florida

Following a major overhaul in for Hudo in North Carolina, Heidi and Hudo are continuing their journey around the world.  They are now in Northern Florida.  On the east Coast, Heidi has visited Daytona and the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral (Home of the Real Dr. Phil – Click HERE to read about Dr. Phil Scarpa’s exciting work at KSC).  On the West Coast Heidi has landed in  Naples, and Clearwater.  Hudo seems to be purring like a kitten again, as does Heidi.

And some additional good news; Heidi’s new Spot tracker has arrived in the mail, so the staff at Mongolope.com will be able to see Heidi’s locations from the Spot Map, instead of trying to translate German Instagram.

Once Again – Currently driving around the world in a 1930 Hudson!

Hopefully, Heidi and Hudo have Willy Nelson on the wireless because the two of them are finally back on the road again. The root cause of Hudo’s troubles turned out to be a broken oil line in the oil pan.  He has beautiful new pistons, a “new” cyclinder head, rebuilt crank, his brakes have been repaired, and the two of them are now visiting Savannah, GA. Regrettably their GPS marker has disappeared from Hudo’s cab, so we cannot see the minute by minute updates of their trip, unless Heidi finds a replacement.
