Day 107- the last resupply

I woke up and was on the trail around 630. I snaked up and around white pass ski area before dropping down to highway 12 and white pass. From here I made the half mile walk down the road to the kracker barrel and picked up the last of my resupply packages. It had about 6 days of food and other than that I will be just getting food out of gas stations the rest of the way. I bought ice cream, coffee, pastries, burritos, and a pizza pocket from this store and waited for some of my depleted electronics to charge. After I could not sit still any longer I made my way back to the trail. I was a bit too full, but it's so hard to pass up real food. On the trail it was a winding path through beautiful lakes and wildflowers. Then as if that was not good enough, we climbed to the top of the ridges, yielding wonderful views of rainier. I would around these ridges with many gorgeous meadows and alpine lakes. Then I hears some thundering footsteps and looked into the meadow and saw over a hundred running elk into the trees. The next stream I came to had hundreds of frogs in it too. This section is full of wildlife. This trail is amazing in that if you have a couple bad days out here, it will take you high into the mountains and give you spectacular views and help you remember why you are out here. I passed the 30 mile mark for the day and was planning on 4 more to highway 410 but shortly thereafter I hit Dewey lake which was pretty amazing and something I decided was not worth passing up. It was the question of camping by a lake or a highway. I don't know why I was so stuck on doing more miles. So I settled on a 31 mile day and am just fine with it (trail mile 2329) . Tomorrow I supposedly enter into one of the worst sections of trail through clear-cuts with many down logs. Thank you logging industry.
