Mile 916.4
Elevation 3,107
Miles Hiked 12.4
I was up early this morning and managed to leave the last hut a few minutes past 7:00 AM. My campaign to eat more to increase my weight and energy seems to be working. My pace was much quicker than past days even when climbing. I covered 11.5 miles in five hours, which for me is fast.
At that previously mentioned mark was the Lewis Campground store. There were many hikers there eating food bought at the store. I joined them and treated myself to a Gatorade. After about 30 minutes, it was time to go and I continued on for another mile to the hut for the night. I’m clearly in the middle of a big bubble of hikers, and I want out. I got a spot in the hut, but it’s full and so are the tenting sites. Way too many people.
It’s supposed to go down into the 40’s tonight and the high for tomorrow will be in the low 60’s. Cold at night but good for hiking.
