Snoqualmie Pass (sept. 11)

Short post.  Battery is getting a little low.

Biked up and through Snoqualmie Pass today.  Made 45 miles total, all the way to Cle Elum.  No great feat of biking, but the first 15 miles was all uphill (although granted it was railroad grade), and I haven't really been on a bike in years.  Surprisingly no rump pain.  I was starting to feel it a bit by the end of those first 15 miles but it was gone again by the end of the day.

Mike and Fred (other bikers) when hearing what I was doing shared/gave me lunch at top of pass.  Good fellas.  Good company.

Couldn't find a campsite or hostel tonight so am sleeping under a pine tree hidden by thorn bushes.  Night is clear and mild.  I'll pack up when it gets light.  Leave no trace. :)

Right knee still occasionally twinges.  No big deal, though.  Feels better every day.

Pictures of pass and description of 2.5 mile long very dark tunnel to come later.

Be well all.  Goodnight
