[pct-l] Trail Magic

[Hikes and Bikes]

Mother Goose and I hosted 72 hikers at White Pass September 11-15 (one hiker arrived 9/16 as we were packing up).  We gave what leftovers we had to Only a Test, who said she was planning TM in Washington this weekend.  

Weather was almost perfect, although a little on the cool side during the day.  No rain.  Most hikers were generous with their monetary contributions, which we greatly appreciated.  Certainly helps to offset out-of-pocket expenses and gas for the car.

BTW - There is no laundromat in Packwood, unless you are staying at the campground.  The nearest laundromat is Castle Peak 9 miles west of Packwood, but bring your own quarters and detergent.  The store was in the process of closing 9/16.  Not sure if it was for the season or forever.
