I'm at Snoqualmie Pass, WA, at milepoint 2383.2 - just 270 miles to go, a little less than two weeks!

I've walked through snow, raging rivers, and fire to get this far, and it's been an amazing journey. I'm both excited and sad that the hike is nearing an end. At least I'm with four friends, all people I've met out on the trail, and we're planning on finishing together. There are others around who I know as well, and the tension is in the air - it's practically crackling - as we near the Canadian border.

But of course this is northern Washington, so it's raining and snowing out on the trail now. The last stretch will be a cold one, whereas the first was a hot and dry one.

As always, my journal and photos are at: http://www.breecher.com
