So damp walking into Snoqualmie Pass. But the woods, deep green in the mist, couldn't have been lovelier than under the dark Washington clouds. The trail was a stream under my feet, sparp rocks and high tree roots exposed, but I hopped happily over them, enjoying all of it. Rain makes me smile, especially when I know there's a dry haven at the other end.

On 9/26, decided to stay a second day...so much rain and some kind of stomach thing make me reluctant to head into the deluge.
