Mild Hypothermia on the PCT
I have the tent up and I get inside, strip my clothes off and get into my sleeping bag. I have mild hypothermia and I’m shaking badly.

Rainy and Cold Day on the Trail
Today, the stretch target is the Mike Ulrich Cabin. The weather is not bad until 3:00 when it turns into a rainy and cold day.

Hiking in Changing Weather
Weather forecast for tomorrow is rain, so I made sure that the tent was staked down good. It looks like I’ll be hiking in changing weather tomorrow.

Leaving the Washington Alpine Club
Today I head out, leaving the Washington Alpine Club, and head for White Pass, which will be my next stop. There is a fire reported not too far from the Pacific Crest Trail near White Pass. I’m hoping that doesn’t detour my hike like what happened up at Harts Pass.

Finally! Snoqualmie Pass Trailhead
Finally! Snoqualmie Pass Trailhead. It was a ten minute walk to the Washington Alpine Club hostel. I checked in and the host made me a couple of hot dogs.

Possibly the Hardest Hike Ever
Most of the trail was filled with skree. My ankles were rolling and twisting on the rocks. I even fell several times. It was possibly the hardest hike ever.

Lake Waptus Campsite
I ran out of water, but a source was a half hour away. After getting water, I headed to a Lake Waptus campsite. It is the only campsite for about 10 miles.

First Full Day from Stevens Pass
Today is the first full day from Stevens Pass. Before Meander dropped us off yesterday, he said this section was as hard or harder than hiking the Sierra.

Stevens Pass and Back on the PCT
Myself and four others are waiting for Meander’s return, so he can drive us to Stevens Pass. We are skipping 125 miles of trail due to fire closures and alerts.
