Wow, what a day. It wasn't too windy during the night, but it picked up before we got up. It's a gift picking windy campsites!
Thought it would be an easy day since we were going downhill. We wanted to cover 15 miles by 1pm because Liz's brother and his fiancé were bringing us lunch.
Well, it wasn't so easy. It seemed like we just kept walking and walking and walking. Lots of rocks to go over and shrubs growing into the trail. And it was very sunny and hot.
We finally made it down to mile 205. Bill
and Kena ended up coming to where we were. They brought us chili dogs and cream soda from Pinks. They were delicious. Thank you trail angels.
We're staying at Ziggy and the Bears tonight with at least 25 other hikers. The five mile walk from where we had lunch to here in the hot afternoon sun, through sand and no shade was also grueling.
From my decription you might think I'm having miserable time. I'm not. It's hard work, but the views, the people the changes in landscape and weather, and the experience of walking through it all is amazing!
PS - Anne, Wallstreet says hello.
stunning views!
