This morning featured a medium sized climb and some great views. At my first break around noon I noticed that my pack was splitting apart. Good timing. It only needs to last one more day. The white in the picture is the trash compactor bag I use to keep my gear dry.
Bambi and I left camp together this morning but I haven't seen him since then. Maybe he is still hiking, but most likely he will have to hike a little further to the border tomorrow. I will either hike slowly so he can catch me or wait for him at the border. It will be great to have another thru-hiker around to celebrate.
Much of the day has been celebration actually. Waves of bewilderment and pride come over me when I think of how close the border is. I also keep telling myself not to break my leg so I can indeed finish this hike.
There's a 50% chance of thunderstorms so I have pitched my tarp for the first time in a long time here in Washington. I'm really glad I am here in August and not rainy September/October. Yikes!
