Breakfast at Snoqualmie Pass!
At 2 in the morning it started raining and I had to put my tent up. To do this I had to find my trekking poles which I thought I left by the power outlet. I walked the 100 yards over there and did not find them. They ended up being right by where I was sleeping. I put the tent up and slept the rest of the night. In the morning I was waiting outside of the summit pancake house when it opened. I got the biggest thing on the menu with every breakfast food imaginable. From here I got some snacks and a couple meals from the chevron and hit the trail. It began with a couple thousand foot climb. There was fog and clouds everywhere so I did not get to see any of the great views until almost 2 when it began to burn off. The trail was never flat always up or down. Over a pass then down to a valley. For the first time in a long time my legs are fatigued. I think it is due to walking at a fast pace to make up for my mid morning start. By ridge lake I met beacon. We didnt talk much as there were a couple day hikers there too. I walked with the day hikers for a while and was just happy to talk with people my age. They may not have been my best friend and we didnt even have lots in common, I just liked answering all their questions. At lunch time they turned back and I cranked on. Through lots of deadfalls and the challenging up and down of the trail I met many section hikers and crossed many streams. One of the larger creeks even had a washed out bridge and I had to cross on a branchy log. I finished out the day and am camped out on a windy ridge. It's going to be a cold night.
