Day 14: the long trek back

Our last morning in Seattle started with a hike up mount si. This is a super popular hike, and right near the city, so there were a lot of people, but it was kind of cool to partake in what seems like a Seattle right of passage. Lunch at the top held a good view, but the most agressive ground squirrels and gray Jay's I've even experienced. The ground squirrels were literally at the feet of your boots. I could easily peg then with a couple small pebbles, but that didn't even deter then. In a moment of non vigilance, one made off with the top of our Tupperware peanut butter lid. It's not as much the financial loss, or even the inconvenience, there's something infuriating about getting bested by a punk little fur ball that's not a half pound soaking wet. Oh well.

We hit the road there after looking to cover as much ground as possible. Spokanes campground was full, so we held on for coeur d alane and it paid off. A nice spot on the lake with showers and laundry.
