Day 128 Sun Aug 24th


We were up at some ridiculous hour and hiking by 0530 by headlamp. Another amazing sunrise and only 17 miles to Snoqualmie Pass. Easy terrain, lots of friendly folks out on the trail by Mirror Lake. Got to the Pass around 12 and it started raining by 1pm.....phew! We are here now, getting stuff together for the next stretch to Skykomish (75 miles which will take us about 3 days!!) We are starting to count the days down now.......it's only a matter of miles and walking them. 255 miles to CANADA!

Neighbor and Chickety --

I am the race director of the Cascade Crest 100 and I happened to be at Stampede Pass when you all arrived to some well deserved applause from all the people at our aid station. I'm glad that you had a good experience on the trail while the race was going on. We try really hard to make sure that the run does not inconvenience other trail users, and we love to feed thru-hikers :) It is very rewarding to read your positive comments on our event.

I wish you both the best on the rest of your hike.
