Today was a miserable day it felt exactly like Oregon or at least the worst parts of Oregon, green tunnel and mosquitos all day. A bit of Washington’s steeper climbing revealed itself as well.
One of the brief views of the day
I started hiking at 0558 and quickly had to protect myself against mosquitos. The mosquitos were present the entire day and made the hiking quite miserable.
Perfect mosquito breeding ground?
The trail had almost no views today as it was pretty much all green tunnel. The trail was however quite easy.
Another good but very brief view
I hope that the mosquito situation changes soon as it is currently driving me crazy. Tomorrow it looks like I will be camping at higher elevation so that might help.
I guess there is snow in Washington as well
My next resupply stop is White Pass where I hope to arrive the day after tomorrow. If I can keep up the current daily miles I should arrive early afternoon which would allow me to charge my stuff, collect my packages and then hike some miles past White Pass.
My name is Martin Caspersen, I live in the very flat scandinavian country of Denmark. Most of my life I have lived just north of the capital (Copenhagen), I have however lived a short while in Brisbane, Australia.
I have a big love for being outdoors. In my day-to-day life most of my time outdoors is spent running where I generally try and push for distance over speed. When I get a chance what I really like to do is to go hiking. In particular I like hiking in mountainous and generally strenous terrain. Until 2018 my hiking experience waslimited to somewhat shorter trips with the highlights being a 4-day hike in New Zealand and a thru-hike of the GR20 on Corsica.
In 2018 that changed as I thru-hiked the PCT, the Pacific Crest Trail, in the US. I have dreamed about thru-hiking the PCT ever since I first heard about it in 2011. The thru-hike was an amazing experience.
