Day 163: (21.35 miles) mile 2502.28 – 2523.63 Another misty morning in the clouds. Everything outside our tent is damp. Is it going to rain we wonder? Not taking any chances we put pack covers on so we can quickly … Continue reading →

Day 161: (11.55 miles) mile 2468.46 – 2480.01 Up early with Ballhawk and Sugar, we start the trek to Steven’s Pass and a hitch to the Dinsmore’s for our resupply box and hopefully our replacement tent body.  By the time … Continue reading →

Day 160: (22.91 miles) mile 2445.55 – 2468.46 Today we planned to do some extra miles to create a Nero day at Steven’s Pass and a visit to a trail angel’s home (The Dinsmores) for resupply.  We are up before … Continue reading →

Day 159: (20 miles) Mile 2445.55 After a restful night’s sleep and awaking to miraculously non-swollen and/or sore feet we began our trek to rejoin the actual PCT and the rest of the thru-hikers.  As one might not think, we … Continue reading →

Day 149: (20.39 miles) 2237.52 – 2257.91 After a restful night in the hostel we had coffee and a danish on the porch of the Grocery Store. Butterfingers had arranged a ride to the trailhead with trail angel, “Bob”. Bob, … Continue reading →

As we stated before, our WiFi connections have been poor for some time.  We have tried to post from some areas, but again our posts apparently contain too large of media files, thus the next posts (over 17) can’t be … Continue reading →

Day 155:(20.44 miles) mile 2355.48 – 2375.92 After a warm and dry night in the Urich Cabin we set out to make big miles so we could reach Snoqualmie in two days. The low cloud from yesterday sat above us … Continue reading →
