Day 137

0 Miles

Last zero of the trail! We’re planning to skip up to Stehekin, pick up our resupply package, and then start the remaining 80 or so miles to the border (plus the 30 back to the highway). I should be able to tough it out and hopefully be healthy by the time we head home. We relaxed and did camp chores in the room for most of the day. Cleaning cook pots, drying out gear, etc. Mentally, we’re ready to be done hiking. We ate bratwurst from Rein Haus, along with a giant pretzel. Safeway is across the parking lot from the hotel so we were able to pick up sparkling white wine for our finish. No one seems to make champagne in a can (or Safeway doesn’t carry it). Regardless, we’ll be able to toast before heading southbound. Hopefully we can put in some solid days and cruise through this last section. The weather looks cold and wet, which is not quite what I’d like, but we’ll deal with it.
