#44 I followed them into the mountains (the end of Washington van life)

In today's solo female van life chapter, I follow Christian Schaffer into the Mount Baker wilderness, to go backpacking for a night. A few weeks later, I leave Washington, and follow another van lifer, Drew Harrington deep into the Mount Hood National Forest. I wrote this title quite literally...
