Once again, chores have allowed me to squeeze out a blog entry. Zm is sealing the seams on our tent, something we should have done before starting this trip.
This morning we climbed into a cloud. The trail climbs up high with extensive alpine views. Unfortunately the views were obscured for most of the day. Being on high ridgelines in clouds and rain takes its toll. It is similar to night hiking in that you have no frame of reference. Lacking is the sense of forward progress that fuels our hike.
This was also the first time to really test out our rain panchos. They mostly kept us dry. When we took breaks we would drape them over ourselves to hide from the rain completely. As the day progressed, the rain relented and our spirits were raised. We should have nice weather for the next several days.
Roo and Marmot caught up at Snoqualmie and there are now six of us including Seahorse and Chillidog. We all have the same tent.
It just started raining again, but Zm is already done. Time to sleep once again. As the days get shorter, sleep time gets longer.
