So we decided that we can't wait to hike in Washington so we are heading up there tomorrow. We were able to get a ride with Little One's friend Rick to Chico when we hit up Sierra Nevada Brewery for dinner. Tomorrow we will fly out of Sacramento at 5:10 am headed for Seattle. From there we will hang out with our friend Pongo from the trail and then attempt to get to Ross Lake or Hart's Pass (on the PCT). We will then hike north for for 30 miles,
take our picture next to the monument at the northern terminus of the trail at the Canadian border then head south to California.
Not only am I excited to experience hiking in the WA cascades in prime weather, but it will also be fun to meet the thousand or so thru-hikers heading north! It will be sad to separate from what is left of TEC, but it will be a joyous day when we pass them in Oregon.

Saying good byes to Pounce and Little One :( |
Off to new adventures up north. Can't wait to hike in western WA for the first time!
good call. make sure you send your food out to the passes in advance. there aren't good food options in WA at the passes, and yo want good food cause it's big country.
