Day 6: We Walked Post
I walked 63358 steps on the trail today.
I traveled about 26 miles today.
38 degrees when we got up at 5:30 this morning and there was fog rolling off the little lake. We were on the trail by 6:05 with full water and rested bodies, and it's a good thing! This12 mile section had no water at all and, even though it looks like a nice ridge walk on the map, was up and down STEEP peaks and saddles all morning. The first fresh spring on the trail at 6000 feet after dropping into the Blue Sky Creek drainage was beautiful to see. Mt. Locke was a killer climb. From the spring on, the trail was relatively easy all day so we added some extra miles of roadwalk on at the end. We saw our first PNT trail registry out here and signed it - a map page someone no longer needed in a box. Saw that 'Parks' signed it today before us so maybe we'll find him on trail. Other than that, all entries were days or weeks old. So, today we walked. And had great views of the mountains!
