First 21 Mile Day

The highlight of the day were the lakes that I passed. It’s really cool to see pristine lakes in the wilderness. I pushed on for my first 21 mile day.

Goodbye Trout Lake

Goodbye Trout Lake. This is the last time I’ll ever see it. It’s hard to imagine the circumstances that would return me to this neat, little mountain town.

Hiking

The Adams Creek Decision

Should I cross Adams Creek? IMy OCD was compelling me to finish the last 9 miles, so I could say I hiked every mile of the trail in Washington.

Trout Lake to FS 5603

The plan is to hike all the way to Forest service road FS 5603. That’s the trailhead where we were stopped last year because of the fire.

Onward to Trout Lake

Today, it’s onward from Yakima, WA to Trout Lake, WA. I had hitchhiked to Yakima since it is on the way to Trout Lake, so here I am and here I go.

Hiking

Stevens Pass and Leavenworth

To get to Leavenworth to pick up a provision box and rent a room (still no Internet), I had to hitchhike. There is no pubic transport that I could find.

Stevens Pass Tomorrow

My camp last night was a lot better than had I camped with that obnoxious family mentioned in yesterday’s post. I slept peacefully. Today, on to Stevens Pass.
