Picking Adam Up from the PCT

 

After being on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) for eight days, Adam asked if I could pick him up in Wenatchee, Washington. He had just completed all 118 miles of Section K of the PCT and decided that just doing a section here and there would be alright for his purpose. He had some great times out on the trail too.

After work on July 2, I drove in the night to Wenatchee and picked him up and then drove back home. I had to work on July 3, but I actually had Independence Day off and we'd be able to spend some time together over the weekend.

I had to work for the morning on Independence Day, but afterward, we went to Gas Works Park in Seattle. We knew that there were going to be a lot of people there, so we parked about a mile away from the park several hours before the fireworks would start. There were already a lot of people there by the time we got there. We got something to eat and hung out at the top of the hill overlooking the park until the fireworks began.

It was a great fireworks show, even though the music messed up.

Afterwards, we watched for a little while as people left the park. There were so many!

Once we decided to work through the crowd, we walked back to our car, but saw that traffic was going to be backed up for awhile. We walked to a nearby restaurant and had a late dinner. By the time we were finished, traffic was much more manageable.

We had a great night. I enjoy hanging out with Adam. I don't get to see him very often.
