August 14 - Skykomish
I played leapfrog on the trail with the couple that camped close to me last night. I left just before they did, but they passed me when I stopped for breakfast. Then I passed them as I move a bit faster. Then they passed me again as I had lunch. And finally I passed them again and they said they wouldn't see me again as they were going to camp. We had a nice conversation before I took off for my last few miles.
My resupply is in the small Great Northern Railroad town of Skykomish, named after the river that runs next to it. The post office doesn't open until 11:00 which seems typical for these small towns so I'll have to rest up a bit. I'm not complaining! If all goes well I'll be back on the trail by early afternoon.
Lots of lakes in the Northern Cascades, even though the trail doesn't always come close to them.
Another lake.
The town of Skykomish is very picturesque with mowed lawns and flowers everywhere.
The river runs by it.
