Overnight and morning rain, hide in tents until 11. Puddle in shoe. Lime jello. Rain doesn’t stop, head out. Asked two nobos about the origin of guinea pigs, one didn’t know but she ate one off a spit once in Ecuador, the other said South America, the guinea bit is just a racist colonial term. Banana slug. Entered cool temperate rainforest, bunch of ferns and moss everywhere, 6” moss hanging from lower branches of big hemlocks. Rain is fitting. Cool blue/teal rocks again. Jumped on wet stones, left foot took a dip. No water for next 10 miles, oh well osmosis etc. drink water off tree leaves/needles. First blackberry! Bunny, 3 deer. Rain jacket soaked through, but ok when moving. Surprise water. See railroad depot ruins that caused the Great Depression, according to a FarOut commenter. Find campsite 10 out, outer tent up, get splashed through tent from big drops, otherwise good. Each mashed potatoes and ramen with tent stakes.
