I dreamt the water was so low we were able to walk crossed exposed rocks. Reality hit me that it was just a dream when I awoke to the sound of rushing water. It sounded as if the water was even higher than yesterday, could it be true? The Adams Creek is a stone throws away and I was certain the water was going to be just as high and we wouldn’t be able to cross without getting wet. We all packed and were ready to observe the creek by 6 AM, when we got to it it seemed to me not much changed, it may have seemed a bit lower. Joe was suggesting areas to cross, and dad jokes pointed out that the logs may be able to be walked on. Dad jokes crossed the river on the logs first. And was successful. I was skeptical, I had thought maybe the weight and the rushing water would cause the logs to breakaway. He made it across very easily, Joe‘s turn, again success, so I went next and all good, then green lights turn. We all made it across safely and mostly dry.
The Trail today was through wooded areas, but we did entered goat rocks wilderness. Not many views today until the last 5 miles, while walking on a ridge It had started to lightning and thunder and a fog moved in, it provided thick heavy clouds and a mist that provided a cool view of 6000 feet below. We could see some of the Mount Adams, now almost 30 miles away. I am excited for what’s to come!
