Daily: 19.1
Total: 1031.7
Just another another day in the life of Chilihorse... We woke up late (6:50) and left a note for Bubs and Boots, who we'd left at the top of Dick's Pass... only to see their footprints ahead of us. After traipsing through the swamp of a trail, we caught up to them at Richardson Lake, and they said they hadn't even seen our tent, even though we were only 10 feet off the trail in plain sight. Funny.
Anyway, most of today was snow free but buggy. After Barker Pass the snow picked up again. It's funny, we're all really tired from the flat, snow free cruising today. Our bodies aren't used to cruising anymore, they're used to climbing snow boulder after snow boulder.
We would have done a 20 or 21 mile day, except that there is snow everywhere, and here, on the flatteds spot for 5 miles, we're cowboy camping in the trail because there's not enough space for a tent!
Gorgeous night for cowboy camping, though. We're on a ridge with a grea view and a beautiful sunset.
