“The adventure will not be in the witnessing of what’s around you, but in the doing of the day.” – Thunderfluff<\/p>\n

Rain started around midnight and we woke up with soggy tents and packs. \u00a0It felt like one of those days in which we would <\/span>have to be content with being wet. And that\u2019s <\/span>how it turned out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sky was gray, the air was damp, and the misty drizzle soaked us through as we pushed through wet bushes and constant fog.<\/p>\n

We soon met up with Tim, who was out in the area to scout for an upcoming elk hunt. \u00a0He broke his camp down and joined us to hike for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

\nI had planned to be disappointed by fog-obscured views, but it ended up giving the landscape a mysterious beauty and didn’t detract from our experience at all. \u00a0We climbed up to\u00a0Old Snowy, walked the high, narrow section of trail called the Knife’s Edge, crossed over Cispus Pass and Elks Pass, descended back down into the trees and found a somewhat soggy place to camp. \u00a0Another hiker named Tazer joined us and we talked about future vacations and places we would like to visit after this trek is over.<\/p>\n
