July 18

Our camp of four all had breakfast together and broke camp in two waves. The brothers, Harvey and Matt, left first with Louis and me coming soon after. Louis and I passed them and managed to snag some more red vines on our way by. It was another blue clear sky day. Beautiful weather for hiking.

We stopped for lunch by a lake and lounged in the sun for about an hour and a half. Matt and Harvey passed us on their way out, and soon after Louis and I took off to get close to the highway for camp. We got a little sidetracked by another big lake that looked to good not to go jump in. So that's what we did... And tried unsuccessfully to catch some trout for dinner tonight. We found a campsite here 4 miles from the highway where we will hitch into Skykomish tomorrow, resupply, and hopefully be 4 to 8 miles down the trail for camp tomorrow night.

  1. What do you use the red vines for, ropes to hang your food at night?
