Awakened about 2am last night by thunder and lightning. Really quite a show. It rained a little but no much and then half of the day today it will be a slow drizzle but nothing serious. I did have to wear a rain jacket and covered by pack with a rain sack to keep everything dry. The cloud cover and little bit of rain is actually nice. Makes the hiking a little easier.

Meet a PCT hiker by one of the streams I stopped at. Her trail name is OneStep. She is 75 years old and has Washington to do in order to complete the PCT. She has also done the Appalachian Trail, she mentioned how difficult the AT approach trail was from Amicalola Falls to Springer Mountain. She blew right by me.

The day clears up around noon and all the rain gear comes off.

I stop at about 3pm. Pretty early but I need the rest even though just 10 mile day.
