Morning Run

My awesome father in law dropped me off at the White Pass trailhead on Saturday at 8 am. The mosquitoes were everywhere! Everyone was wearing head nets. I went for the 100% DEET and was mostly left alone. All of the lakes and streams were equally bad. I saw many southbound through hikers. Other than through hikers, the only place I saw many people was at Chinook Pass. Trail behavior was very courteous all weekend.

The biggest climb of the entire section happens almost right away, although it's only 1500'. This section features frequent views of Tacoma. It's pretty much the only thing I took pictures of. The wildflowers are in full bloom as well.

I saw a small forest fire and a helicopter dumping water on it. Later I met the guy who called it in.

There are long exposed stretches with no water. I misjudged how much water I'd need and ran out 2 hours before the next spring. I was not happy. This was at miles 32-39. For lack of water I stopped eating, leading to the inevitable bonk. 

My original plan had been to camp at Sheep Lake, but when I got there it was very crowded - at least 5 groups. So I pushed on to Old Crow Basin, another 9 miles. By the time I got there I was very tired and ready to be done. Old Crow Basin was also packed, with at least 4 groups and 4 alpacas. But the basin is huge and there are tons of campsites so we stayed out of each other's way. Except when my neighbors woke me up by talking loudly at 5 am…
