Aug 14 2022 PCT 2450 to 2460

Once again, I have a good nights sleep except for hearing the cussing every once in awhile that the campsite is not available. In the morning I look around an notice how beautiful it is. I never notice at the end of the day. I am too tired to notice. In the morning, I am always amazed.

I’m above the fray. Thunder Mountain out there

Already packed up but the picture below shows my campsite. Yes it is very rocky here BUT the rocks on the trail here at least do not move underneath your feet.

About 9 I am looking down at Trap Lake. The PCT does not go down there but looks like a nice place to hang out for awhile.

About 11 I am walking through a meadow. Been awhile since the hike was this easy.

A meadow??

I thought I might make it to Stevens Pass today. But, that was not going to happen. I am 5 miles away and just have to stop. I need water, I am tired, and I am by Lake Susan Jane. I find a campsite and go immediately to lake to slurp up some water with the lifestraw. I have about 5 miles tomorrow to get to Stevens Pass but there is a peak I have the climb along the way.
