A blog of my hiking and mountaineering. I have hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and the Pacific Northwest Trail (PNT) and am working on climbing all of the Colorado 14ers.

Day 9-pounding pavement
I woke up on the beach near port Townsend and walked downtown to a coffee shop to get a final charge in for my phone. From here I made my way to the post office to pick up a package and mail a few things home. Once these chores were done and I was packed up I took the ferry across the water to Whidbey Island. I walked a few miles on some good trails with amazing views of the straight as well as many of the mountains around such as Mt Baker. The day went downhill from here. The long roadwalk took up the rest of the day. With tender feet already, this was the last thing that I wanted to do. The saving grace was that I passed a brewery in oak harbor around dinner time and decided there would be no better place to take a break before walking into the night the deception pass state park. Tomorrow I start moving more east and into some farming country. Hopefully I get to walk on the more trails in the coming days.
