Vince called from White Pass, WA today. "Only" about 350 more miles left - YAY! He's been doing about 25 mi/day in the Cascades. He said he's had an exciting time the past week -- lots of steep elevation changes have left him worn out... which says a lot for someone who has been hiking almost every day of the past 4 months... And yesterday he hiked through a foggy "white-out" of sorts on a sketchy part of the trail - pretty steep. He also had a run-in with a bee's nest which left him with a couple stings and a lot of nervousness (very luckily no allergic reaction though!). But alas, he got into White Pass today and had a good meal of greasy food and got his resupply boxes, which he had needed as he was out of food by this point.
I also received more pictures from him, which I will post to the Photobucket page in the near future... there are a lot to sift through there, as it's all of Oregon, so it might take me a bit. But for now, thanks for reading and have a great day!
