Mid South Fork Skokomish





One last hike before the gates close.  Autumn colors are out and mushrooms are popping.  A nice day in the woods in spite of my late start and my now near constant worries of my house being burglarized while I am out hiking with the dog.

There is a chill in the air and I have switched to my winter day hiking gear.  I took out the sunscreen and packed my warmer layers.  I did leave my rain pants at home though, it seems too early to start dragging those everywhere.

Sage found feces to roll in.  What a jerk.

I walked until the trail was obliterated by a large fallen old growth snag and then I turned back and had lunch.

8 miles with 895 feet in total elevation gain on an up and down route.
