DAY 107: Tues.,Aug.12 Hiking out of Hwy. 12 at White Pass

What a beautiful morning. It is 6:00 am and after an evening resting, watching the Olympics, and chowing down on "home-made" Sunday Special prepared by my dear wife, I am on the trail at White Pass headed toward Chinook Pass - 30 miles north. This is a day hike, carrying a light-weight day pack. I am supplied with snacks and Deet - to deter the flying blood-sucking mosquitoes.
Shirley will be waiting for me at Chinook. The view this morning is of the towering monarch - Mt. Rainier. At 14,410 ft., this dormant volcanio is a sight to behold. Today is the most clear day I've had since crossing the state line in Oregon. Will update this post with photos as soon as possible.
After today - 331.2 miles to go.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard
