Been hanging out here in Packwood. Eating. Writing my journal. Eating. I’ve somehow managed to lose my zip-on leggings for my hiking shorts. I had put them on a couple days ago when the mosquitoes were bad and forgot to repack them when I took them off near Goat Rocks.

Saw Work Horse and Chai trying to get a hitch from the grocery story.   Stopped by and chatted with them for a bit.   They are going back on the trail tomorrow morning.   I suspect I’ll catch up to them at some point.   It took them 30 minutes before someone finally picked them up.   I’ll have to go through that routine tomorrow.  

I’m resupplied for the next 7 days in the bush. Tomorrow I’ll head back up to the Kracker Barrel General Store and wait around for Stormtrooper to show up. Then it is back on the trail !
