Wenatchee to North Bend Day 6

Day 6 on the Wenatchee to North Bend route – the final leg

Down the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River with a stop at the Goldmeyer Hot Springs. Then onward to the Dingford Creek trailhead where I bailed out six miles before my target (the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Trailhead) in order to hitch a ride into North Bend in time for the shuttle back to Wenatchee. But I was too late and ended up hitching a ride back to where I started.
