It’s town day. At the end of segment 17 my sweetheart will pick me up and take me to Gunnison for a day off. Needless to say I was up and hiking early, had 14 miles to do and a great reward at the end. Was actually on the trail before the sun was up. It was cold down by that lake but the 400ft climb up warmed me quickly. Actually saw a nice fox as I was climbing, cool.
The day was almost 100% forest walking so not many pictures. Up and down, up and down, all day. Several significant things did happen though. First, hit the 300 mile mark for the CT, that’s for the 2020 and 2021 for me.
Then, my first trail magic for the year, Steve and Poops were handing out hot dogs, chips and Oreos. It was really nice of them.
And the third is that Cherie picked me up and I got a shower and real bed. She also gave Snicks and Two Mile a ride into town. It was a good day.
