Day 13- Mt Baker

Today was possibly the hardest that I have had so far. A lot of today was bushwhacking to try to find the trail, get around landslides, and move in the general direction of the unmaintained/invisible trail. And when I say bushwhacking I mean whacking 5 foot plus weeds out of the way to try to find a spot to step in uneven ground. My progress was pretty slow. This added to the Mosquitos made it challenging but in the end it was all worth it! About 7 pm I entered the mt baker-snoqualmie wilderness and am camped directly below the mountain. It is an amazing site and looks as though I could just spend a day and climb up it. Tomorrow will probably be filled with many logging roads and the extra miles of taking the wrong turns but even still the sites make it all worth it. I got in 27 trail miles today and I'm sure well over thirty actual miles, but I guess that means I can eat more tonight.
