Day 109- snoqualmie pass

When I woke up this morning I was just too comfortable in my sleeping bag. This meant I didn't get up and moving until after 7. But even so I wanted to get to snoqualmie pass today. It would be my last giant day of 42 miles. Even with the late start I was set on my goal. Almost all day was filled with logging land, a checkerboard of clear-cuts. In the morning the fog had settled into some of the lower valleys and made it half beautiful. I passed Tibetan a few miles in. He is an interesting guy and it was strange to see him after passing him over 1500 miles ago. He must have skipped up. The rest of the day was non eventful. Then about 8 miles before snoqualmie pass is where all the down trees started. Every other minute was spent climbing up and over some gigantic trees that laid across the trail. It got dark and I brought out the head lamp and cranked out the last few miles in the dark before arriving at highway 90 and the pass. To my dismay the chevron had closed a half hour early causing nothing to be open. I did find a power outlet to charge my phone and a spot right next to a ski lift to sleep. I will find a place for breakfast in the morning, buy a little food (mostly snacks) and head out.
