Then the two RV Gypsies walked down several steep stairs to get to their final view of Myrtle Falls with Mt. Rainier far in the background. It was such a bright sunny day, not a cloud in the sky, so Mount Rainier barely showed up in the photo against such a bright sky.

The two RV Gypsies went back down the path, away from Myrtle Falls, and towards the parking lot. They saw a deer running, and they stopped to take a few photos, even though they have seen a lot of deer on this trip this year.

The two RV Gypsies stood still on the trail, and the deer kept coming closer to them. Karen thought it would eventually run right by her, just like the deer in Yellowstone did in the past.

The deer stopped to scratch an itch! Then it started to eat the flowers, so the two RV Gypsies continued on their way.
