A Very Long Hike out of the Wilderness
After visiting the Cascades area of Washington in 1984 I knew I had to return. I used my frequent flyer miles and booked a first class ticket to Washington in 1986 and hiked about 65 miles in the North Cascades Wilderness area over a week. I kept a travel diary and have reproduced it here as I wrote it in 1986.
10:00PM I'm in a motel at Pateras, WA. I decided to come on out. I made very good time. 13 miles in 6.5 hours with a full pack. I didn't get started until 11:00 this morning. The shuttle was late and a slow woman was driving it. I ate my baked beans before I left the woods. I wasn't going to bring them back out after carrying them 50 miles. More later, I'm tired.
