all right we had a pretty epic day today
um so much happened I can’t remember
where we even started somewhere well I
guess we got a bug-free line last night
and made a shelter kind of underneath
this spruce tree it was all right it
wasn’t the most comfortable night ever
but I slept like a rock I was pretty
tired so uh get up snowy outside weather
starting to clear looking a lot better
than it did the night before
throw the packs on and start hiking and
did some pretty serious climbing went by
a pretty awesome crater lake getting up
to that was tough
real tough just slow going step by step
got up to a big crater lake beautiful
scenery hiked across the lake everything
went fine a lot more hiking today was
basically a lot of walking the big event
of the day was Sean took a little tumble
and ended up in the drink pretty much
full on wet soaked snow everywhere fell
on a lake that fortunately had just
water on top of the ice we didn’t
actually go all the way through but he
got completely soaked it was a little
bit of a hustle there for a couple
minutes trying to get him warmed up and
you know keep him from getting
hypothermic so we threw a tarp over us
and through my sleeping bag on Sean kind
of sat down got a candle going in there
so it kind of created a hot air bubble
on the top of that top of that tarp keep
him from getting any worse than he was
you shaking pretty dang bad heated up a
little cup of water and yeah I got that
into him a little hot drink always goes
a long way so after we got him warmed up
a touch we hit the trail running covered
a fair bit more ground but I mean all in
all today we flew we covered a lot of
high country and that’s kind of what
we’ve been working hard to do is get to
the high country go fast yeah incidents
happen not much you can do about that
but we do have control over is how quick
we move how much ground we travel and I
feel pretty comfortable right now you
see a little water behind me that’s our
destination
so it’s not that far I’m getting pretty
dark here though not really a good time
to go down through the trees down to the
to the you know sea level just because
this is when accidents happen we’ve
already had one close call today no need
to have another you get all rubber legs
falling down through those trees
somebody’s gonna get hurt so shut it
down here get a good night’s sleep get
up early and race to the finish looking
forward to it
