33.5 miles overnight
Barbara and I had a surprisingly fun evening of walking from Duvall WA to Rattlesnake Lake in North Bend via the whole length of the Snoqulamie Valley trail. We headed out at about 730pm Saturday and with a combo of minibreaks, breaks and break-breaks stopped about 630am Sunday. No critters to challenge minus a few rabbits and lazy birds (started chirping rather long after first light). There wre areas of spooky and some tired feet at the end but some how held a conversation 95% of the 11 or so hours. My left quad freaked out a bit but I rallied to teach bootcamp on Monday morning. The best move was from Barb asking the Frogger family for bug spray something we forgot. They had some, thank you frogger fam.
PB &Js were money as was my can of starbucks at around 1 am. The sign as we left the 3 mile stretch of road returning to the trail that stated, "sections of the bridge may be missing" was classic. We're as ready as we probably can be. My quad lit up after boot camp but again recovered quickly. A little ice and vitamin I and I'll be fine in Ireland.
