Just over 80 more miles

We made it!!! It was such a struggle through the snow and rain to make it to stehekin but we did. The postmaster said we we're his latest pct hikers he has seen. We wore it like a badge of honor. So what if we're the slowest, we hiked the longest hike! Something to be proud of. We have about 4 to 5 more days at the most and then we're heading home to be with family
And friends. I can't wait. What a long strange trip it's been. I can't wait tell I get to be nostalgic about this trip and write long reflective essays on the matter.

250 miles from the border and it is pure hell. We had a melt down and wanted to get off trail. At 5000 ft the snow was sticking and a few more inches and we wouldn't be able to see the trail cut through the brush. Below 5000 ft it was pure rain. Shoes soaked, body tired and all of us had hit a breaking point.
We hit snolqulamie pass, cerveza called some friends in Seattle and we planned to go into town. We needed a zero(none mileage day). We revamped our gear, looked at the weather (snow, rain, snow, rain) fuck! But Canada can not be taken away from us. We have to try. We have too!
So right now we are just going to go for it. We know we're taking a risk but we got too. It's to close.
It's only 2 weeks at most. That's nothing.

Rainington

So we are at mile 2303 white pass. We went over goat mountains while a storm was coming in. It was kind of scary but we're pushing northward. Next stop we're half way through Washington. Almost home free. I can't wait to get home but first I got to walk 350 more miles
