Some good sleep was had last night. Today was a day of driving. We decided that we were going to head back to the goat rocks and catch the miles we missed around two weeks ago.
Along the way we stopped in Yakima to let V8 get some laundry done. While we sat in the warm sun of a dry high desert, some stranger gave us 7 gatorades. That was nifty.
After lunch in a laundromat parking lot, we reloaded into the car and continued on our way to Walupt Lake. We passed over White Pass, our exit for the final leg and it was sunny. There were several thru-hikers hanging at the store. We gave them some of our Gatorade, then ate ice cream and checked the weather.
The forecast called for rain tomorrow. Since our goal was to hike five miles today and go over goat rocks tomorrow, we realized that we would be hitting that gem in that rainstorm. As such, we decided to camp at walupt and adjust the leg by a half day to hopefully let the rain pass before we go over Old Snowy.
Another night of cards and campfire. Tomorrow a short steep climb back to the trail.
