Eighth day-I had to drop down to Longmire Visitor Center. My second resupply was at the Hiker Center. It was a pleasant day, rare for this time or year. I got a large salad to take out from the restaurant. I craved fresh veggies after a week on the trail. I packed my new supplies while basking in the welcome sun. I left Longmire in the early afternoon, and crossed Nisqually River, top left and left. Madcap Falls, labove, drops on the Paradise River, a few miles west of the Paradise River Camp Site. The camp site sits at 3950ft elevation. This south segment of the Wonderland Trail averages a little over 3000ft before it starts climbing up the east side of the trail at Nickel Creek.
