Reminded me of the Sierra Nevada mountains with its many snowfields to cross.

In the distance is Mt. Adams on the left and Mt. St. Helens on the right. This photo was taken after quite a climb.

I took a panoramic picture and still it doesn’t capture the spectacular majestic beauty of this place. All I can say is amazing!

After over one hundred miles in forest I was treated to this spectacular view in the Goat Rocks Wilderness.

Today I celebrated having been on trail for four months.

With the recent rain and fog I’ve not seen much of Mt. Adams. That is until today as it recedes in the distance.

Not much to see. It’s been cloudy and rainy the past three days. The forest has been shrouded in fog as I hike in the early morning. As a result I’ve not seen Mt. Adams, but the wildflowers have been lovely.

As I approach the end of my journey I am finding that I’m willing to accept my equipment and its flaws. The net on my tent has been getting holes and I’m just repairing them with tape. My rag pull string broke several weeks ago and I just attached it with a safety pin. My pant cuffs are frayed and worn, but they are good enough to get me these last miles. Overall I am making do with what I have.

At about mile 2202 and 10:30 AM as I was hiking north here comes Scott Williamson south. Scott is a very fast super hiker whose name is well known in the PCT hiker circles. He is hiking 45 miles a day and again trying to set a speed record, but he explained that the wildfires in California might cause him to slow down or not make it at all.
