All my boxes are packed and I'm ready to go! Sometime tomorrow morning, I'll be off on that dusty old trail, once again. I'm now in the final leg, Washington. There are big changes ahead. The biggest of them all... THE WEATHER!
It's likely that by Wednesday, I'll see my first drops of precipitation since sometime in May. California was dry and surprisingly, Oregon too! But Washington is looking to be wet.
The forecast for Skamania county on Thursday says a 40% chance. What that actually means, is that 40% of the time it will rain. I'm mentally preparing for the entire state. But I'm sure it will rain less than half the time. I know it could rain almost the entire way too!
Trail rumors are abound once again with regards to the difficulty of Washington. I've heard that from the Columbia to Trout Lake is easy. I've also heard that it's easy all the way to Snoqualmie. Maybe I should look at some maps? Nah. I enjoy the surprise!
In other news, I found my other Backwoods hat in my closet this afternoon. I'm stoked about that since my last hat was lost in Sierra City. I'm keeping the Grateful Dead hat given to me by another hiker, Rusty; despite not knowing any of their songs or dances.
Anyhow, it's time to cut up this pizza and stuff it in my food bag. I can't wait to eat it on trail.
Happy Trailz,
Jerry
