We got a good start and hiked to water. Then we rested. Hiked to water again. Ran into Humbled. Rested.
Hiked to water. Ran into Beerman and his wife and Humbled.
Humbled hitched into town for a zero. Beerman delivered trail magic and we got to look at their camper which was really nice.
They warned us the water was nasty and offered us water they had. Also warned us the Winds are still impassable for normal hikers and suggested we do the Great Basin south from Rawlins and then finish up New Mexico.
We took the advice and water and hiked on after a great rest.
Finally found a great place to camp with a view of the valley. We were too tired to continue.
We put up the tent. I inflated the pads. Sleeping bags aired out. Happy boiled water and we had spaghetti with meat sauce. It was great.
We are further north so the sun is up late and rises early. But the perennial wind has a lull and I’m ready to sleep.
Sorry for these bare bones entries but I’m so tired at night and there is no internet.
However, tomorrow has a lot of elevation but also has lots of water.
