Thanks, Rowan glad you liked them.
I only took a couple of pics from the wet side of the Cascades. My first afternoon on the trail I knew there was an event going on as I'd passed all the mile markers and aid stations along the way. I probably should have dumped my 7 litres of water as soon as I passed the first station, as I could have just refilled one water bottle as needed
I got such a late start that I decided to camp before getting past the entire event course, since it was already 10pm and I was getting sleepy.
Packing up the bike the next morning, the marathon runners started going past, so I waited for the 5 hour pace-keeper to go past before getting on the trail, figuring the crowd would be pretty thin by then.
