I am determined to avoid a zero-mileage day this hike-a-thon, but I was still not feeling very well today. I decided I'd better not try the Mountaineers' Wednesday night hike, but I still wanted to go to Mount Spokane. I figured out a great way to make the hike easier, too! It's practically cheating, but I took both Kari and Blaze with me. I got out their skijor two-dog leash and clipped it to my hip belt on my backpack, and they practically pulled me up the big hill on trail 120A! Then I hiked out 120 for a mile, turned around to come back, and returned via 120B. And the cool find? Not long after I turned around I was coming around a switchback on the trail and noticed something bright-white on the downhill side. I debated not checking it out, but I'm glad I did in the end--I found a cool buck skull, antlers still attached! It's a 2x3. I didn't have the camera with me, so I had to wait until I got home to have Kari and Blaze pose with it for posterity.
Daily total: 3.2 miles (at least it's not zero!)
