What a super tough day today. After a wonderful sleep in a real bed and another self server 700+ calories breakfast, I headed out to head up and up and up. Must have been 6000 feet climb up and down to first shelter. I over stocked for 5 days and pack must have been 40+ lbs. I know I spoiled myself with a bottle of wine decanted into a plastic bottle. It was so good and was able to share with Oculus and Tin Man and others. The climb was hard because a lot was straight up. I met Ida who cried with me as we shared heart break. She started the trail with boyfriend but they broke up on trail. She is continuing but will probably pull off soon. She is young so has her life ahead of her but she was struggling. I love the randomness of meeting people but in the Lords plans, nothing is random.
