Windigo Pass tomorrow. We will stop at the cache there. Then on towards Shelter Cove and resupply. We will definitely take a zero at Shelter Cove and recover.
Today we started at 5:23 am and finished around seven with that water carry up from a lake to the camp site.
We beat the heat and did well. We rested as we needed it and that helped.
Of all things at the mid-point today we ran into the lady (now has a trail name: lifesaver) who got my trekking pole. She was out for another section hike. Amazing to see her again.
Coincidence can be neat.
We hit a little snow yesterday and today. Only enough to be a trail decoration.
I’m having a lot less foot pain. Finally getting my trail feet. Like the Speedgoats. At Seattle where I expect to need new shoes, I think I’ll get another pair.
The hot, dry, weather leads to fewer bugs. That is good. The heat wave should be over in a day or two.
Otherwise we had a lot of Verizon claiming 3-4 bars but without any throughput so the connections just taunted us.
Clear weather. Steady breezes. This section has long water carrying portions and really needs the caches that are being maintained. We had some six liter carries that were good practice and being cautious.
What a day.
