CDT Joy: Summer Equipment Exchange

Day 29: 15.6 miles

The highlight: Post Office. Leaving Anaconda.

Awakening in a real bed is very pleasant. I had a slow morning relaxing in bed and got up for breakfast around 9 am I enjoyed a gofre and a cinnamon roll.

After breakfast, I had another glorious shower and then began to pack my backpack. In my attention packages that I picked up yesterday I could change my 0F bag for a 20F bag that saved a lot of volume and weight. I also checked all the articles of my backpack and anything I found strange, I reserved to send home.

The list included fleece gloves, an additional torque, an additional sack of things, additional hydrocortisone cream and antibiotic ointment (I transferred them to 0.5 oz tubes that entered the shampoo and the hotel conditioner), and some additional foods that they did not need for this next section and can be delivered in another later box. Everything said was more than 4 pounds of equipment, dressing articles and food.

I was all ordered at 10 am and I went to the city and the post office where I sent my additional team by mail. Then I crossed the street to a local cafeteria for a panini avocado turkey and a flavor coffee. I asked for the drink more full of calories and obtained coffee with white chocolate with half and half. After lunch, I walked to the edge of the city and stopped at the hardware store. I was able to collect a rubber ball that I can use as a massage ball for my band and feet.

The path followed the main road and then got off a dirt road that parallel to the road. It was at this point that I realized that I could have eaten too much. Fortunately, stomach pain disappeared in an hour and in two hours was hungry enough for a snack.

The rest of the day was spent on a walk from a road road and then to another dirt road. Today I saw several hikers with whom I have been jumping from frog, since they headed north for a slack back to Anaconda. It was 24 miles from Storm Lake and the land was mostly down. I decided to give up the slack to sleep before leaving my hotel. I hope to invent a few miles every day to see everyone in the city.

I made a camp in a camp listing off the road with access to a water stream. In camp I saw part of a walk in the forest, then I went to sleep.

Day 30: 21.5 miles

The highlight: Twin Lakes, Storm Lake, Storm Lake Pass.

I was on the way this morning just before 7 am last night I did not sleep as well as I would have liked, since I was congested and among my heels I hurt on my back and my hips hurt my side, I woke up several times to change the position of my body while I slept.

Today’s path followed a dirt road towards a path and then climbed on Twin Lakes. This was my ambitious camp plan yesterday and, although the view of the lake looked incredible from the camp, I was glad to have taken a more relaxed and easy day leaving the city. After the lakes, I was in a wooded area and went to my third lake called Storm Wood Lake. From there, the path of the path around the lake and even a pass. Today’s path had much more escalation than I felt in more than a week and it was a welcome change, but the miles were slower.

I took a lunch next to a stream and realized that I hadn’t even completed 10 miles still today, so it would be unlikely that I could take a day out of mid -20 miles as I expected. I will still arrive in the city of Darby in time for my camp reservation, but it can end up being later in the day and I can take the next morning to make my refueling and the tasks of the city.

After lunch I put an audiobook and let the miles pass. I found a little headache in the afternoon and took some medical and salt eyelashes. I also heard a storm in the distance and thought it would be prudent camping before the approach to the next pass without trees.

I made a camp in a flat grass area outside the path. As soon as I configured my store, sprayed rain for several minutes, so I informed my sleeping pad and began to load my team. When the rain stopped, I did dinner and towards the end of dinner, the rain began again.

I was sitting on my rain team and now I quickly pushed my Alfredo paste in my mouth as fast as I could chew. I brushed my teeth, hung my food bag and ran for my store’s safety.

Today was a good day but exhausting, and I hope that the lack of sun and the sound of rain in my store helps me sleep quickly.

Day 31: 25.1 miles.

The highlight: 1 month on the road. The map of northern Montana ended in Farout. Lake Rainbow. Johnson Lake.

I got out of bed and got on the path in about 20 minutes this morning. The weather was excellent this morning, pleasant in walking in my hoodie for a uphill upload to start the day. Today I had tail energy despite having a small headache and sometimes feeling a slight number of nausea.

I climbed four passes today and had a mixture of slow uphill and downstairs. I prefer this type of land on the monotony of a road walk, but the miles are slower.

I shook 12 miles before noon and took a nap at Rainbow Lake. I also had my first meal for the day, a sandwich and inenglable fried. I added my water for a refreshing drink and continued my path.

I tried my afternoon up to a comedy podcast called The Pass Times with the Dollop. Then he turned off the audio to enjoy the descent cruise.

At 7pm I met the mother/ daughter couple with whom I had dinner in the city that were preparing the camp. I needed to walk a little more to the next water source to get water for dinner and then find the camp. I found a camp shortly after a current, but a store was already there. I called to greet and asked if I could put my store in a nearby place. It turns out that Lincoln’s friends were with whom I left the city!

I had dinner away from the camp and did my night tasks before relaxing in bed during the night shortly after 8 pm
