We slept like babies last night as the rain pelted our tent most of the night. By morning it was obvious nothing had changed overnight and today would be another cold rainy day which would again limit our views of the spectacular landscape we’ve been hearing about and excited to see. I was shocked by the temperature when I pulled back the soaked floppy rain fly. The temps were in the upper 30’s at best, quite the difference from the three days in the 90’s from just a few days ago. Since there are no views to see we hiked fast as town, White Pass, is only 15 miles away, we elected to skip lunch and made it to the Kracker Barrel Gas station by 2pm. The clerks let us sit in the station all day so we could catch up with our fellow hikers and recharge our bodies along with our electronics. By closing time we had a few good meals and bought some beer and wine. Since it was still cold and rainy we decided to stay in a hotel room next door for the night.
