David and I are almost to the end of our journey. There are less than 200 trail miles until we are in Canada. There is only one more town stop in between where we are now and the end of the trail, which is exciting. Unfortunately, that last town is Stehekin, and apparently it is unreachable by road and also by internet, so we thought we would offer one last post of nice pictures while we can.

Our only real worry now is the weather. Unsurprisingly for this area and time of year, we are periodically drenched by passing showers. Luckily it hasn't been cold enough yet to cause any serious trouble and we can usually find a patch of sun to dry things out at some point during the day.

So here we go, on to the final stretch of the trip. Hopefully the next time you hear from me and David, we will be posing triumphantly by the monument at the Northern Terminus!

Gorgeous pictures! Glad your almost reached your goal. You are amazing! How's the wet feet? Wet clothes must be the worse.
Wet clothes are the worst. Wet feet stink more than usual. Fortunately sunny skies are ahead.
It’s been amazing following your journey. God be with you on your last miles. ❤️ Mrs. Fechik
Mara, not sure if you remember me or not - but I remember you m!
Of course I remember. Thanks Mrs. Fechik!
Thanks for the post! Was just thinking about you guys and wondering where you were. Take luck!
What beautiful scenery and what a determined couple! Ran into your mom at the grocery store; she said you were going to grad school when you return. Congratulations on that. Happy trails as you complete this amazing adventure.
Thanks Lise!
