8/10

I'm amazed that I got no rain all day today. I woke up and the foot of my bivy was wet. I thought it would have to have been the fact it was touching the top of my tarp, but actually run off had come under my tarp and over my ground sheet. I had even kicked small moats in around my tarp last night in preparation for that. Oh well. It dried out easily today.

 

31 miles today. Easiest elevation profile in Washington yet; largely flat. I figure I better take advantage of the easy miles so I can slow down if a real storm comes through. 

 

I have to average 27.5 miles per day in order to finish on the 26th and have my dad meet me in Canada. I'm definitely considering it... Well at this point I'm also already doing it, but it may be a little faster than my body wants to go day after day out here. We'll see!
