Stehekin, WA ~80 miles to CANADA

Washington is big, beautiful, and generally lacking of internet access. Apologies for such a short entry but I am lucky to even be on a computer in this stunning little town that is completely off the grid.  Nestled on the northwest shore of Lake Chelan, the only way to get here is on a ferry or on foot.  Cell phones do not work and the village bakery is the hub of news.  I have 80 miles to the border and another 8 until I reach Manning Park, a mountain resort close by and the center of celebrations for all the hikers whom find themselves out of trail to hike north.  This part of the trail through the Alpine Lakes Wilderness and Glacier Peak Wilderness has been absolutely incredible and stunning every day with beautiful weather.  With a small weather system coming in this weekend it should make things interesting and I may finally get a true taste of what the Pacific Northwest weather is like.

 Happy Trails and Peace and Love y'all!!!!!

  1. 80 miles to go!!! You could do that in your sleep!!! I can't wait to see you and your smiling face. It seems like years since I've hugged you!! Once you get settled and you've had a chance to relax and get some sleep, you're coming over for dinner and story telling. Gotta hear all about your travels strait from you. You have so many friends here that love and miss you, Dr. Beads. :)
    Love and miss you terribly.
