July 5: One Thousand!

We are sitting now at a table in the Summit Family Pancake House in Snoqualmie Pass, WA, just south of I-90, celebrating the completion of our 1,000th mile with a round of juicy burgers.

We walked 19 miles to get here at around 4pm over spectacular lake country terrain with gorgeous, sunny views of Rainier all morning.

We are debating now about whether to camp on one of the ski slopes across the way (in order, primarily to ensure that we will be able be here in the morning for pancakes) or head back out onto the trail tonight.

We ran into our first northbounders today, a trio who flipped north to Ashland and will go north to Manning Park before flipping back down and heading south through northern CA. According to Billygoat, who was with them, we are just two days behind more than 20 other flip-floppers. We were surprised by that number. At the rate we're going we'll be catching them soon.
