A Cross Country traverse that is stunningly challenging; including a fourth class scramble to Iron Cap Mountain. Please do not attempt this route unless you have navigational skills. Exposed with difficult route finding. Wild and rough landscape.
Please note: found a full backpack at Chetwoot Lake. No one arrived to claim this pack which included tent, sleeping bag and gear. Attempted to report to Skykomish ranger station as concerned there is a missing hiker in the area?
Lost at Chetwoot lake in the same area as the unclaimed backpack: steripen, black honda automatic key, 2 quart platypus bag. Please call or text Laura at #206-963-5928
Lastly, the trip ended at the Necklace Valley TH finding numerous car breakins, windows smashed out, broken glass everywhere. Maddening with the thought that there are no sacred places left.

I've been wanting to do some backpacking in the Necklace Valley but I'm afraid to leave my car at the trailhead because almost every TR mentions break ins 😩

Lots of bad juju there amongst the good. Did you find out about the backpack and other abandoned goods? Was there a missing hiker?
Why cant the car thieves be the ones claimed by the wilderness? Karma sure is indirect.
