\nMiles: 41.5 – 56<\/p>\n

Today was a lot of walking through the Cleveland National Forest, which seems like a misnomer given that most everything we walked through was the height of shrubbery. \u00a0I guess when you’re from Washington State you come to expect a lot from forests. It was pretty shrubbery, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a while we reached a viewpoint where a few clean and shiny people were looking out at the hills. \u00a0They asked us where we’re headed and it was my first chance to say, “Canada!” \u00a0They seemed genuinely surprised at my answer and asked us a bunch of questions. \u00a0Turns out this happens often when we run into day hikers and people in towns, and it’s fun to take in their excitement.<\/p>\n

We hit the 50 mile mark today, which was pretty exciting! \u00a0I don’t really feel like a ‘real’ hiker yet, though…maybe when I get a few more miles under my belt.<\/p>\n

Fifty hot, dusty miles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We sweated out 6 more miles and camped with a bunch of other hikers at Oriflamme Canyon, all squished amongst giant boulders. \u00a0I ate a gross amount of mashed potatoes with beef jerky and watched the sun slide down behind the next hill.<\/p>\n
