Today was a pretty nice day. The temperature was down a bit, the
trail was nice, and my pack was much lighter (I dropped trash and
extra food last night). My dad left in the morning and I continued
heading North.
The trail went along a river for a while today. I think it is the
same one I passed yesterday, just further upstream. The trail also
passed by a few brooks. There were a a couple boulder climbs and a
long rocky descent but for the most part the trail was rather smooth.
I have a bit of a problem coming up. At least that is according to
the rumors. Supposedly they are doing construction on the bridge up
ahead. When they are working no pedestrians are allowed across. So,
there is a 3-4 mile reroute and all of it is road walking. There are
a few options. The first (and the one I am going to try) is to get
there before they start working. Another option is to hitch across
the bridge. A possible third is to wade across the river, although I
don't know how feasible that is. Finally, if all else fails I'll walk
the detour. So, I plan on getting up at 4am to start hiking. Ugh.
I heard that tonight is supposed to get a little chilly :) But then
the temperatures are supposed to go back up over the weekend :(. I
like the colder weather.
Tomorrow I head into town to spend the night. Although I have been
getting plenty of town food lately, I haven't had a night off trail
for the last week. So, that will be nice.
