Spring Mtn Sheter to Jerry Cabin Shelter
We got our first real taste of a long, exposed ridge today in Firescald Ridge. Good thing the weather held out for us since it could have gotten really ugly really fast up there. We did get some great views of the surrounding valleys and the rhodedendrums are just starting to bloom. That means two things: the trail is becoming very colorful and our allergies are going nuts. For a while today we could actually see the pollen in the air it was so thick.
We are now kind of linked up with another group for this stretch and are moving shelter to shelter with them now. It will be interesting to see how long we stay with any of these groups as we keep moving north since they will all have to start making bigger mile days so they can get to Khatadhin before October 15th when the park closes and they can no longer summit. Just another benefit of flipping, we do not have the schedule constraints that others do.
Tomorrow we will cross 300 miles and we get an easy song title for the post. Any of the 2002 MIT Phi Delts reading along will appreciate the 2nd reference to our set of 3 favorite songs.
Stay tuned...
