August 25, Day 128: 2220.4-2230.0
Miles Hiked: 9.6
Gratitude of the Day: I’m thankful for the trail family I’ve made, they are wonderful people who always put a smile on my face.
This morning it was a nice 9.5 miles to the road that leads into Trout Lake. I woke up at 5am to take a bio-break, the inside of my tent was wet from the condensation of the meadow that we camped in and my foot box of my sleeping bag was wet as well. I crawled back in my tent and just decided to start packing up and head down trail. At 5:45 I broke camp and started hiking into the morning with my headlamp lighting the way. Soon there was a nice uphill to conquer but I was hiking by huge Douglas firs and soft duff under my feet. By 9:15 I was at the road hanging out with several other hikers waiting on the shuttle, which is just Trout Lake locals who drive the hikers into town. In Trout Lake I quickly resupplied and then went to cafe for a burger and a huckleberry milkshake. We all sat around until 5pm for the last shuttle out of town with everyone completing their chores.
Once back on trail we went all of 0.1 miles and all camped together hanging out in the dinner circle enjoying each other’s company.
