Magic

We arrived here with almost nothing in our packs.   

Snoqualmie Pass...almost exactly the half-way point on the trail in Washington.  260 miles to go...two more resupply stops and we are done.

Three days ago we were finishing up a 23 mile day.  A long-ish day for the Cascades, we were tired and foot sore.  This is the scene that greeted us at our end of the day camp spot...

...Trail Magic!  

A Trail Angel (Stumblin Norwegian ) and his friends were camping out waiting for hikers.  For dinner, it was stew, BBQ ribs, veggies, beer, soda and his trail-made Kalua. For breakfast the next morning they served French toast, bacon and coffee.

Then, the bonus.                 Stumblin Norwegian handed out bags for us to fill with the stuff in our packs.  He was going to drive all our stuff to Snoqualmie Pass so we could "slack-pack" the last 18 miles.  It was a glorious hike with virtually no weight...only snacks and some emergency supplies.

We head out today.  Our next stop is the Dinsmore's...trail angels that open their home to hikers every year.  4 days of hiking...hopefully not too much rain. 

Here are some more photos from the last section.
