Miles Hiked: 18.3 Total Milage: 2271.7 Today I woke up to a chilly morning.

Miles Hiked: 24.5 Total Milage: 2253.4 I woke up to small puddles of water all over the floor of my tent. Last night it thunder stormed and rained for hours.

Miles Hiked: 26.7 Total Milage: 2228.9 This morning I woke up in the hotel feeling rested but I did not want to leave the bed. It was so comfy after not sleeping in a bed for so long.

Miles Hiked: 6.5 Total Milage: 2202.2 This morning 12 pack and I woke up very early.

Miles Hiked: 28.1 Total Milage: 2173.4 Yesterday I looked ahead at water sources and realized that we have a very dry stretch ahead of us.

Miles Hiked: 31.8 Total Milage: 2145.3 Today I woke up early around 5am. My stomach was bothering me first thing in the morning and I knew we had to hike 30 miles today.

Miles Hiked: 18.5 Total Milage: 2113.5 Today I woke up very early so that we could get to town as early as possible. The goal was to get to town, resupply, charge all of our things and get back out to trail. The hard part about the plan is that we will be trying toContinue reading “Day 123: Wise River”

Miles Hiked: 24.3 Total Milage: 2095 Today I woke up around 6am. It was still kind of dark out and very very windy.
