August 23 - The Push
24 miles today with Brad, Sun, NoEnglish, and me getting into camp on the far northern end of the Cascades around 7 pm. We are 27 miles from the Canadian border and the final PCT Monument. Tomorrow we hope to be at a small lake just seven miles from the border and fifteen from Manning Park, British Columbia.
Brad has a flight from Vancouver to Detroit on Sunday. Sun is hoping to make a connection with a friend in Seattle who will pick her up in Vancouver. NoEnglish is hoping to go with Sun back to the Sierra to finish her journey.
I'm just hoping I make it without further injury. And I'm really looking forward to some time with my cousins. I know Betsy wants me in Tucson before she has to leave again so I'm sure I'll catch a plane South in the next week or so.
Our day today was pretty uneventful. Lunch was had at the top of a ridge overlooking a huge expanse of mountainous land. Camp was set up in the trees at a saddle in very dry high country near Hart's Pass. All in all it was a good and tiring day.
Somewhere down there are some hikers going down the three thousand feet we just climbed.
