resupply

Day 6: Mig Lake to Valhalla Lake.
Today was a resupply day. My day was split in the middle with a couple hours’ break at Stevens Pass resort. I got to have coffee, a fresh lunch and took some time to refill and reorganize my pack.

Day 7-8 – Vermillion Valley Resort
After a solid week of hiking, we had earned ourselves a zero day (thru-hiker slang for a day of no hiking!) We had originally expected to reach Lake Edison too late to catch the ferry across to Vermillion Valley Resort, located on the far East side of the lake. We were going to camp near the ferry landing and catch the first boat across in the morning.

We’re getting down to the wire, which means down to the nitty-gritty bits of preparation. My biggest focus these past couple weeks has been on our resupply package. This is my first long trail, which means my first time using a resupply system. A few months back, as we were figuring out our itinerary, we made the decision of how best to resupply ourselves. Being Canadian, we’re struggling with the problem of our dollar being rather low.
