Day 34- Idaho hills

Today I awoke in a dark forest near a meadow. None of my stuff got wet the night before so I was not expecting any dew on the grass and flowers but once I got to the meadow nearby the trail basically disappeared and turned into waste high wet grass. After only a short wall my sox shoes and feet were all soaked. This made the rest of the walking until lunch a little more difficult and made it feel like my feet weighed 10 pounds each. I came out to the correct logging road and it reaffirmed that I had taken the correct path through the gauntlet of trails on the Washington Idaho border. I walked on and got some good views of priest lake where I could change my socks and let my feet dry out a bit. I also met Andy who was camping with a couple dozen of his family member and he was nice enough to offer me some food to compliment my lunch. It's always great to meet nice people. I walked on a few more miles and I am camped right about where the trail disappears. The first ten miles or so tomorrow will most likely be bushwhacking, which can be extremely slow and frustrating.
