Central Cascades

I was trying to find a location with less rain showers this weekend and somehow ended up camping in the mountains. 🤔 Today was so fun and I want to remember that when the snow showers start in the morning. The mountain views have been stunning. Seeing how close I can get to Mount Washington tomorrow. Maybe the weather will be totally fine but I’m prepared to bail if I’m not able to stay warm.

Central Cascades: Part 2

Camped at the 2000 mile mark on the PCT. Mosquitoes were already bad but nice campsite at a pond. I should probably learn the lesson that the weather in the mountains is always going to be more extreme than expected. By Saturday morning I was already in survival mode so these photos are from Friday. (more)

@andrewbriscoe Excellent advice Andrew especially in the spring and fall! In quotes “I should probably learn the lesson that the weather in the mountains is always going to be more extreme than expected.” Hope you had a great trip anyway!

@Inthewilderness It was good, no regrets! It’s so much easier to just stay home if the weather is going to start bad than with nice weather followed by a change.

@andrewbriscoe Actually, Andrew some of my most memorable camping experiences have been in crazy inclement weather. That’s Northwest living!

@Inthewilderness It was memorable! 🤣 I didn’t know it when I started packing up but water was already seeping into my tent from under my sleeping pads.
