It never hurts to smile.
Never hurts to be good-lookin', either. So I've heard, anyway. Foam Creek sheeo trail NE of PCT, White Pass. Kyes Peak & Monte Cristo in background.
Channeling ghosts of herding dogs long passed
That's the 6600' pass from Foam Creek to the White Chuck Glacier, Glacier Peak south route. We're just above the end of the Foam Creek sheep trail. This sandy spot may be old sheep-grazing soil damage from the early 20th century. Read Chester Marler, "East of the DIvide". C.E. Rusk, "Tales of a Western Mountaineer", also discusses the sheep herding history. I believe regulation of the herding was part of the reason for the establishment of the US Forest Service. Having failed to summit Glacier Peak, Al just wants some sheep to herd.

Trail work
West Cady Ridge trail work. You can easily remove a lot of seasonal debris with bare hands or a pruning saw An ice ax is handy for opening clogged drains. If you haven't yet, join a WTA trail crew; lots of fun, interesting people, and you'll never look on a trail the same way again. Traildusters B.C. Horsemen of WA maintain the Quartz Ck trail.

Fortress Mt. from Cleator
Mt. Cleator, 7630, is a 15-20min. walkup from just north of High Pass. Fortress, 8670, is more of a challenge for a corgi, but it's been done. Snow, flower, bug, and water conditions were more like mid-July than early September. This is looking north.
