Day 114- the wall

For the first time in a long while there was no fog around me when I woke up. What was there was condensation all over the ground, tent, and me. It was especially terrible since on the edges of the tent it was frozen. Even so I had to endure this and packed up the tent and began the trek towards milk creek. I finished the climb over fire creek pass and got a good view of glacier peak and the frozen over mica lake. From here it was all down hill until milk creek which I completed easily. At the bottom of the canyon I took a break and opened up my food bag and realized how low I was on food. Basically all I have left is a little bit of mashed potatoes and a few candied walnuts. It's going to rough getting to stehekin tomorrow. I made the first of two large climbs and hit the wall. I was so tired I couldnt go more than a couple miles without needing a break. I finally just gave in and took a long break until I thought i could make it down the hill and to the suattle river. I made it, but it was a constant battle against wanting to stop. The crossing on the suattle was interesting in itself. It was a large waste deep river with one log starting 10 feet high and pointed down at around 30 degrees and this connected to one that pointed totally the opposite way. After the crossing I began the tough climb to suattle pass. Half way up I met blister who said he is really ready to be done. I wish I would have met him earlier because he seemed like someone I would have hiked with for a while. I got in 29 miles and have 17 more to get to stehekin.
