    Once again, we took evasive action and were just north of you.  Spent Sat night on Pt. 6562, the summit that separates N Fk Skykomish from N Fk Sauk.  Hiked in Pilot Ridge Trail from N Fork Sauk (Mountain Loop), which can be brutally hot and dry, but we had Saturday's clouds and just enough sun to be welcome.  Climbed Mt. Johnson, then the Blue Lake High Rte. to 6562.  Made camp in zero visibility, awoke at 10 PM to clear sky, full moon, Sirius bright enough to disturb sleep.  Benchmark is visible from this summit.

    Sunday, perfect Indian summer, 16 miles.  Long stroll above timberline to White Pass.  Climbed Kodak Peak.  We met the Mystery Corgi of Buck Creek Pass, who is actually a Swedish Vallhund named Sumo, who has been to our house (Sumo suffers from the heat also, his owner Anne was asking about the Chillybuddy cooling vest).   5 PM at White Pass with 9 miles to go... hiking out by headlamp among trees 3-4' in diameter.  Eating a 9 yo corgi's dust all the way.  Enthralling.

    Had you taken the N Fork Skykomish trail (same trailhead) and gone 9 mi to Dishpan Gap, that's where we were about 10 AM Sunday.

    Wow, glad it cleared for you!  The view from Benchmark is stunning, isn't it?  There is a nice campsite near the summit, but it's likely popular, and no water.  Gwynnie and I camped on Benchmark summit one early summer when there was too much snow to continue.  That may be the key to that trip -- do it on snowshoes, camp on the snow.

    West Cady closed for construction?????

    I love that aerial view of the dogs from -- Heybrook Lookout?
