Days 1 & 2

I haven't been able to post for a while because I haven't had a wireless signal for my phone, and I haven't been near anything with wifi access.  I'm currently in Iow


We started at Washington Park in Anacortes.

Our campsite

 

Amazing amounts of moss on the trees.

 The moss on the trees should have clued me in that it was going to be wet in the Cascade mountains.  We had clear, beautiful weather on day 1, so I hung my clothes out to dry.  It rained that night, and was going to rain for another two days, so we packed up and drove, doing some wet-weather hiking along the way.

 

Western Hemlock

This guy rode down from Alaska, totally self-supported.

This pink snow is actually an alga that grows on melting snow.
