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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Trout Lake Evacuated: A level 2 fire alert near Trout Lake just off the Pacific Crest Trail resulted in all hikers camped behind the General Store to be evacuated.

Again! Fire evacuation from the PCT just short of the trailhead for Trout Lake.
