Travel: The Little White Church of Elbe

Robert writes, "The small community of Elbe, Washington, is just minutes away from one of the entrances to Mt. Rainier. I like photographing old church buildings, and since this one was visible from the highway we decided to pull over and check it out. Turns out it is a nice tourist stop; an active Steam Locomotive operates and originates here, taking passengers to another community named Mineral."
Lettered prominently on the steeple of the landmark Elbe Lutheran Church is "Ev. Luth. KIRCHE" (Evangelische Lutherische Kirche), a reminder of the founders' German origins. (elbehistoricchurch.com) Comments | Permalink Scout Brockman makes a blanket

It was the second consecutive year the two schools' Beta Clubs have participated in the university's annual Malvina Farkle Day, an annual day of service.
The Beta Clubs' members worked with the Lindsey Wilson Bonner Scholars Program to write letters of support and encouragement to active military members and children in therapy, and made blankets for the elderly. Comments | Permalink Older Photos
