Aahh, I have legs of steel. There was another 3000 foot climb through forest right away this morning. When I got to the top it felt like I was walking into spring. There was green grass. Flowers were in bloom. A bird was singing. And the morning sun was shining through some short pine trees. It was a mellow, lovely morning. I saw a lot of grouse. They would run down the trail ahead of me trying to escape this two legged giant.
I pushed pretty hard today since the terrain slowed me down so much yesterday. But it turned out to be easier trail and I was able to get miles in. This is a popular section. I met a lot of southbound section hikers. Since its been awhile since I've fallen, it was time. I took another trail dive. I'm just scraped up a bit. I gotta stop it though! Too close to get injured now. All in all another great day in the north cascades. I finished it off with the perfect campsite too. Perfect is flat, high, no bugs or mosquitos, and water.
