Skeptical Llama, not so sure about this “walking into somebody’s house” business.
Wildflowers and Elk
August 30th
By five in the morning I felt ready to rise. Peeking out my tent I saw stars. The clouds that filled the sky the night before were gone for the most part, making me think maybe, just maybe it’d be a clear day and I’d get to see those spectacular views of Mt Rainier, Adams and St. Helens from the ridge. I lay in my sleeping bag and listened to the call of a lone elk fill the air. That…

Introduction to Goat Rocks
At my aunts house I told her how desperately I wanted to hike Goat Rocks. As it so happens on the 28th her and her family would be driving through White Pass on their way to Kennewick. So I planned one last hurrah. They dropped me off Thursday night and I stealth camped at the trail head. There was a box waiting for me at the Kracker Barrel store so I popped in there the next morning, mingled…

The Day Of (Mostly) Endless Shade and Berries
August 17th
Woke up refreshed. Yes! That’s the first time I experienced that on the trail. My inflatable pad worked shockingly well and my body didn’t hurt. As I left camp I spotted two deer, who then spotted me and darted away into the trees before I could even think of reaching for my camera. The morning hiking was lovely. So much water everywhere. So lush. So green. And the berries! Holy…

First Day In Washington
August 16th
The train ride was uncomfortable. Got very little sleep. A few seats back was the world’s loudest snorer. Once I reached Portland Patrick from the PCT Facebook group picked me up. Have I mentioned how awesome it is that strangers do such nice things? Because it is. On the way to Cascade Locks we made two stops. He had to deliver a bounce box to Mountain Mama. Surprise! I hadn’t seen…

Five Lakes To...Squaw Valley
When I got up this morning I still intended to get to Donner Pass Road. So I moseyed around camp, giggled with the others about funny crap from the night before, ate the actual amount of food my body wanted me to and then ambled on up the trail. There are tons of beautiful flowers in this section and so many butterflies. So many you have to be careful not to step on them. When I finished the…

Lake Richardson to Five Lakes Creek
Lake Richardson to Five Lakes
I woke to the sounds of a mouse chewing a hole through the outer pocket on my pack. Everyone else slept in the loft while I stayed on the lower level. Apparently I also screamed in my sleep. We all took our time in the morning. I was delaying because the night before my leg felt way too similar to when it was freshly injured. I was also having trouble wanting to eat any of my food. That’s…
