The hike today is more of yesterday’s - ascending and descending, but with a slight ease in elevation changes. The trail is washed out at several creek crossings and have to be forded. Someone camped at one creek crossing, probably hoping the ford would be easier later. It was very passable when I went by at 0730. Whoever this is has set up a tent and left a large, black, Standard-sized poodle guarding the tent. I took a picture from a distance (photo #2). That dog wasn’t about to let me get close to that tent.
There is plenty of cold water for most of this section – which is always refreshing. I’m trekking into Stevens Pass (PCT trail#2000). I’ve called Shirley and she is driving in from Seattle. We will be staying in Skykomish, at the Sky River Motel. It will be good to take a break.
