August 24:Snoqualmie Pass

All of our hiker friends were up before 5am (one guy was up at 4am!) and gone by 5:30am. We were not. :) We got our usual start around 6am.

JZ had a friend who was going to meet him at the pass, but he decided to hike in 10ish miles, camp, and meet up with us as we hiked by. We met up with Monty about 9 miles from the pass, where he had been camping with a couple and their grandson. We chatted with them for awhile, enjoying their campfire and the warmth it provided.

We made it to within a mile of Snoqualmie Pass before it decided to rain on us. It was funny seeing the day hikers huddling under trees; we just threw our rain jackets over our packs and hiked on by. We were headed for town!

We got a room at the Summit Lodge, and since the grocery store there was very overpriced, Monty and his girlfriend gave us a ride 20 miles down the road to a Safeway. After that it was eat, internet, laundry, and a little Extreme Makeover Home Edition as we fell asleep.

Total Miles:2401.7
