Earthwalk Day 909 (19 July 2024), 9099 km

Too busy to write much, but there isn’t much to write. I’ve been continuing west and a little north. A week ago I was just maybe 20 km south of the summit of Mount Ranier. Now I’m between McKenna and Yelm, approaching Olympia.

At my typical pace I’d finish this leg by about Monday, and normally I’d hold off on blogging anything until then. But I’m spending next week on the American Travelling Morrice so (a) I don’t expect to keep up my typical pace (steps while dancing don’t count, they don’t get you anywhere) and (b) I may not have a chance to post to this blog until after I get back. So you get this not-much-of-an-entry now and maybe a belated end-of-leg post in about 10 days. Stay cool until then.

A map showing my progress is here, a spreadsheet with progress detail is here, and a Google Earth KMZ file is in this Google Drive folder. Present coordinates: 46.932°N, 122.563°W.
