Day 137 – Sept. 1st – Whites Pass, WA

Bucket here – We made it to Whites Pass, WA this afternoon.  This is PCT mile 2295.9.  There is a ski resort here at Highway 12, as well as a convenience store and a hotel.  It is designed to accommodate snow skiers, but works great for hikers in the off- season.  Joy was able to get Sage and I a room here for tonight.  It’s just a 0.5 miles from the trail, so we walked here.  We will head out tomorrow morning.  Our next resupply is 98 miles from here – so 5-6 days from now.

Yesterday was an amazing day!  We hiked through the Goat Rocks and Knife’s Edge section of the PCT in Washington.  We were fortunate to have a clear day with relatively mild winds.  I have many photos of this area.  If the weather was poor and foggy or rainy it would be miserable.  And if there were high winds it would be dangerous.  Unfortunately I have no WiFi and poor cell service here, so not sure photos will download.  We may have to try again at our next stop (Snoqualmie Pass).

We’ve had a couple of cold nights (down to 30 degrees), but it is supposed to warm up , at least in this area.  The weather is a big concern for us as we head into September.

That’s it for now.  We keep taking this one day at a time and pushing towards Canada!  Thank you to everyone who is following our journey!  We appreciate your support and comments!
