Leaving Anaconda we passed seven hikers heading in.
Over twenty hikers in Anaconda at the hiker hut.
There were more at Pintler’s Portal Hostel which was completely full.
It started before six, but the hiker feed at Pintler’s still had spaghetti, meat sauce, pasta, garlic bread, desserts, wine and beer left at 7:30. Since I don’t drink they still had plenty of beverages when I left.
It is the real CDT hiker bubble.
Deer were not counted for hiker totals.
