At 3:22 am this morning it began to rain. I had hiked late to find a camp and had decided to risk getting wet by sleeping without setting up my tarp shelter. It wasn't so bad when it started to rain because I had had this happen to me once in Oregon. I just unfolded my tarp and wrapped it over me then went back to sleep. When I woke up to hike at 5:30 it started to rain again.
I hiked 36 miles into the bus stop that will take me down to Stehekin in the morning. It seemed easier to hike all the way in and then sleep in rather than stop a few miles short and have to get up early to make the bus.
80 miles remain to the border. It is so tangible all of a sudden. I'm very glad I took that day off in Baring because it has allowed me to really enjoy these final days on the trail.
