Ate a ton of food last night. I’ve only been at it 2 days, but somehow I feel the urge to eat a lot in town. Pizza, ice cream, burrito, and fruit. Amazing how much I can eat, and after only 30 miles!
After a stop at the post office, we got out of town by 9 am. Super heavy packs, six days of food. The walk out of town continued to get more and more beautiful. It also got hotter and hotter. We made our way up to Hurrah Pass, all on dirt roads. It was so beautiful though, the rocks are full of color.
Kane Spring was flowing nicely and could be the last good water we find for awhile. We drank a bunch and continued on. It was amazing how many people we saw recreating today. Bikers, hikers, climbers, and ATVers. Glad we can share this land and everyone was extremely friendly.
Once over Hurrah Pass, we saw less people and it was apparent that we were about to enter more rugged and less accessible areas. There was hardly anymore traffic, and the road would be impassable by most.
We set up camp early, about 6 pm, 20 miles from town. We are right by the Colorado River, drinking from it. Its silty water is the last water we will have for another 20 miles. Guess its time to break out the gatorade powder to cover the flavor of the river.
Amazing sunset, and now its 8 pm and I am considering sleep soon. And guess what? I DON’T HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW.
