Into Skykomish - Mile 2476 - 10/4

Woke up and got moving around nine and slowly climbed up and down just to go back up again. The terrain is putting a hurting on my feet. Dirty socks an tight shoes have created a nice network of blisters and sores on them but it's definitely bearable because I'll be at a trail angels place tonight, the Dinsmores. Hiking to the pass was pretty standard and then we darted hitching in the wrong direction. A super cool girl, Jenna, picked us up and after quite a few miles informed us that we were going the wrong way. So we were like just let us out and we'll hitch but she insisted on turning around an driving us over which was super nice of her. She ha been driving for a few hours from Bellingham back here to visit family and we were really grateful for the ride. She dropped us off at the deli and said we have a place in Bellingham to stay when we're done if we swing through. We got into the deli just before close and got some huge sandwiches they hooked us up! Then they were nice enough to drive us over to the Dinsmores where we were treated so well. Jerry and Andrea did our laundry and it was so nice to be clean. The hiker lounge had bunks, cotton clothing to wear (so comfy), a woodfire stove and hundreds of movies! We popped in a movies and called it a night a warm and comfortable night of sleep. Back to the trail with 186 miles to go only a weekish left!
