It’s probably not good to admit to your spouse that you are having an affair when standing on a high precipice. Or perhaps she admitted it in Yakima and he said, “That’s alright honey, let’s take a little sightseeing trip to try to work it out”.
BTW, there is no Ohanapecosh Ranger Station but their is an Ohanapecosh campground near the Highway 123 south entrance to Mt. Rainier NP. There is the Gifford Pinchot National Forest ranger station in Randle. If park service cops handled it they probably came to the campground. Otherwise it would have been the NF cop at Randle.
