I woke up at 6 in the morning, already sweating, knowing that it was going to be a warm day! I silently packed my things and headed to the water where the bus returned to the path at 8 am

On the way back to the path, the bus stopped at the Stehekin bakery, which makes it every time it passes it. I received a roll of cinnamon and onion of pesto mushrooms. During the trip, I ate the croissant, which was incredible!

On the bus there was a girl, Emma, with whom I had to talk, and we both realized that we were walking alone and that we would love to have someone to walk a little.

In addition, her family joined her for the next section, and the same with mine! While I was in Stehekin, my father and my brother decided that they would join me for the 71 miles of Stevens Pass to Snoqualmie, anyway they were going from backpackers anyway, so I could join me!

I also met a guy named John who knew Emma de Stehekin, and we talked a little. We started walking around 9:15, a little late for my liking, but we work well.

I, Emma and John arrested us and took a break to lunch in Creek around Mile 88.9, it was good to have some company. I ate the cinnamon roll that I had for lunch, which was also incredible! It is good to have something fresh.

There were many hard climbs and I stopped a lot, but it was beautiful and it was worth every time I folded a corner and I saw the view. I arrived at the official marker of Mile 100 just before I got where I wanted to camp, which was incredible.

I arrived at the camp at Mile 100.2 around 7:30 pm, where Emma and John were along with many others to whom I recognized from the previous days. It was a bit of Buggy, although not horrible, and after preparing myself, I almost immediately went to sleep.

In general, happy to have reached this section and happy to have met some people to walk!

See you in the next!
