White Pass
Awesome: another town! And it's only 25ish miles away! Now I just have to get there before they close. (You might be thinking "but Evan, how can a town close?!" Well, it's pretty easy when a town is just a gas station.)
The good news is that today is also probably one of the most-anticipated sections of the trail. So I'm just going to dive into pictures, so I can show you why I was a little disappointed.
It started off gloomy
And then got pretty spectacular with a view under the clouds
And then, well, that's enough of looking at things, I guess.
And then it cleared up! Awesome!
Until finally I was approaching the Knife Edge!
Well okay then.
Amazing views.
Thrilling.Okay so I crossed the Knife Edge today, and it was totally covered in clouds. Honestly, it was pretty cool, but probably not as cool as on a clear day. You can ask Google for pictures of that.
I did get some pretty good views though, so it honestly wasn't all bad -- I just like being sarcastic from time to time.
Like this one.
Or this one, from later in the day.Anyway, long story short: I got to White Pass before they closed, got my resupply and some food, and headed back to the trail to camp in the parking lot. All in all, a great day.
