Aaaaaah, what a day. I hiked with John again today. We finished Indian Ridge which we started yesterday. The last 3 miles were really cool. Good above treeline ridge walking. We made it to Taylor Lake but we both still had waer from the seasonal spring by camp. The Taylor Lake cutoff trail is one of my options for the return trip. I also got to scope out Bear Creek drainage which I plan on utilizing. Anyway we decided to rest and eat something at Kennebec trailhead, the end of segment 27 and beginning of 28. Guess who drives up? The other lady I had met at Montanya's in Silverton. Very small world! Speaking of which, I hope my bottles of rum arrive home safely. After lunch we had a big descent. It wasn't that nice. There were spots of loose rock and dirt, it was hot & humid, and/or closed in by plants. My new return trip plan calls for me to re-hike this segment and leave the CT at Taylor Lake. I'm really not looking forward to it. Seven miles into the segment, John went on ahead to a small camping spot 4+ miles away while I rested my feet. I was supposed to join him after my foot maintenance but only got a about a mile further before it started to rain a little and I set up camp. There are very few spots along here so it as my best bet. I'll see him tomorrow. |
