2013 x5050: Lower Big Quilcene to Marmot Pass
Originally published August 7, 2013. For turning 50 I planned on a fifty day backpack across the Olympics, this was the beginning of the journal. True to form, I never kept up on it.
Little Quilcene to Marmot Pass
I sat on a rock at the trailhead watching Deborah drive off. Six A.M. was too early for me but Deborah had to catch a Seattle ferry. The thought of society behind me and in front of her left me melancholic. I would much prefer a shared path with my favorite hiking partner.
Marmot Pass was to be my days destination, a favorite location of mine.
