I slept so well last night. The creek was roaring all night and made
for excellent white noise. We woke around 6 and were hiking by 7. It was
still very smokey out.
We hiked separately to Rainy Pass. I enjoyed people watching at the trail head. It was a very busy place. The parking lot was full of folks
headed out for day hikes or overnights. I talked to a bunch of them. I
even talked with Day Break, a 2011 thru-hiker who gave me a beer. Very
nice.
We left the pass around noon and immediately ran into a cooler with
more beer in it from another 2011 hiker. Thank you class of 2011! I
packed out a beer. The climb to Cutthroat Pass was easy, lots of
switchbacks. Wish it wasn't smokey, but glad it was not raining.
We are camped at a place called "Horse Heaven". It is a nice
campsite along a creek. We hiked about 24 miles today. Only 53 to go! We
are thinking that we will hike 23 tomorrow and 30 our last day. I have
mixed feelings. Wish it was not so hard to end a trip.
