After we packed up our tents after breakfast we ran into the same ultra runner support crew from yesterday again. And they had not forgotten us hungry hikers either… They offered to share their breakfast leftovers – potatoes fried in coconut oil, bacon, apple slices. Hmmm!
Well fed we started hiking – excited about the 2000 miles marker waiting for us in just a couple of miles.
2000 miles at 9am. An important milestone. Disbelief. Relief. Happiness. Time and miles are flying by. Exactly 4 months on trail.
Tempus fugit.
We took several photos and continued hiking until the 10 mile break around 11am.
At mile 2008 at Koko Lake it was time for the lunch break at 1.45pm – also time for a nap.
We continued on around 3pm until the next water break at Rockpile lake at mile 2012. With no water at the planned campsite on a ridge, we took some extra with us.
Continued to a campsite without water but nice views on Mt Jefferson, mile 2017.
The world is big
