Day 15: He is not a big fan of Ranch Land

An early start at the CTF base camp

I woke up with an announcement that the base camp will close later in the day. My mind immediately began to reproduce the events last night. Pizza, fruits, brownies and good conversation with great people. What day. I packed and headed to the store. They told me and thanked the CTF team, then I went to Cow Country.

More cows

Almost immediately after crossing the 114 highway, I found a huge listened to the cows. They were all the way. I don’t spend a lot of time around the cows, so I really didn’t know how to react. These are quite large beasts. After a little screaming and applause, they left my path. Having to repeat this process for 4 miles was exhausting. Fortunately, after the cows cleared, I reached the rapid freezing and the pharmacy. We had a snack together and then decided to walk together the rest of the day. The conversation was an excellent distraction for long, flat and extremely hot miles ahead. We go to the Creek at a fast pace. There was no other reliable water source for approximately 15 miles by Creek. We locked ourselves, determined to have a good time in these lands Rancho quite sterile. Very fast I realized that I am not a fan of this type of land.

Trace tragic magic

Around the 15 miles of the day, we were received with an incredible magic of trails. A man who had walked the CT last year decided to receive hikers in a large tent full of drinks, snacks and supplies. He recalled how sterile this section was and decided to do things a little easier for hikers this year. I was excited. I filled with the Ingrabes and the Clementines until I almost felt sick. Then they gave me the Krispie rice treats, peanut butter cookies and juice boxes for the road. Unfortunately, this great moment was short.

The storms clouds were formed above and were closely followed by lighting and rain pouring. For about 5 miles we had to hurry from Treeline to Teeline with the hope of covering. After being soaked, the sun finally came out a few miles before Creek. Back to be roasted. Temperature changes today were bananas. Once we finally arrive at the stream and fill, we met another hiker named Alex. It is a really great guy who lives in the Denver area. Alex and I decided to camp in a nearby meadow while they continued the pharmacy and rapid freezing. They are trying to hook Lake City tomorrow night, so they needed to do more miles. I am sure that I will see them again in the next few days.

Rose, Bud and Thorn

Rose: The magic of the path today was a lonely bright point.

Thorn: This terrain was horrible. I will never be rancher.

Bud: San Luis Pass is tomorrow! I know the climb will be difficult, but these are the views I have been waiting for!
