Day 113 : mile 2538 + 7, Blue Heron Farm

Today we hiked the remaining 12 miles to the fire closure and then out 7 miles on the suiattle river. On our way out we learnt that over the past couple days the fires had gotten a lot worse and HWY 20 is now closed both east and west of rainy pass, so there is no way to continue hiking north to canada. Currently, it looks like my hike is on hold until these fires settle. We are headed back to seattle for the time being.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
