Sept 23rd - White Pass

Somehow I spent a fortune at this little store but my tummy is full, laundry clean, and pack is full of food for the next section of the adventure. Really nice staff at the store. By the time I left it was 1:30pm and we had a huge gang with Hollywood's group and others totally 12 of us. We left mostly together but I couldn't talk anyone into hiking the side trail around the lake to avoid the road walk. An extra 1/10 mile and it didn't miss any of the PCT. Oh well. Took an easy day and only hiked 10 miles to camp at Snow Lake. Set up camp and the others either camped somewhere else or hiked on into the darkness. The musical sounds of elk can be heard all around me tonight. It's like I am surrounded by them.
