Day 105- caching in

Waking up I could tell it was going to be a tough day. My body was tired, my mind was tired, and I was unmotivated to get up. Since I knew it could be a slow day, I forced myself out of bed and onto the trail at 7. Only 2 miles in I was dead tired and needed a break. I pushed on and made it to forest service road 34 where there was the most wonderful food cache in the world from the trout lake abbey. It contained apples, oranges, snack bars, complete meals, vitamin water, and even Starbucks frapachinos! It gave me the energy I needed to power up the long hill to the base of mt Adams. The views were spectacular. It was really one of the first good views of Washington. St Helens, rainier, and of course Adams were all visible and I snapped off plenty of pictures. On the descent down from mt adams i finally saw some elk. They took off as soon as they saw me, breaking branches and trampling bushes and scaring me a bit. As i left the mt Adams wilderness, the Mosquitos became unbearable around the lakes just before goat rocks wilderness. After 45 minutes and tons of bites, they began to lighten and I finally found a place I could set up my tent before I was eaten alive. I entered goat rocks wilderness just before setting up camp and tomorrow I will get to go through it. Some say it is one of the best on the whole trail. Even with being tired all day and very fatigued I still managed 33 miles.
