Gaps in this story!!
I was up fairly early and soon packed. Okay snail to the water source.
I headed off thinking I could cut across and join the trail
MISTAKE..I ended up walking into a figure of 8 and again cutting my legs to shreds.
At last I found the trail and pushed on I had probably lost an hr. Why didn’t I just walk down the road.
At last the next water cache came I to view i dropped my pack, signed the register and began to top up my water.
All done I set out again and into the brutal furnace of this sectionm
It was 4 pm and today I have not been able to get anypace. My hip is hurting which is annoying.
But I pushed on it was at least 6.5 to the next cache and i was struggling and my water was getting low. I began to get doubts of my abilities. I have completed 2 thrus but I’m struggling with this part of the cdt..The temps with in the 100 and it was only 4 pm . At last some shade.
I dropped my pack and hid from.the sun. No way can I do 6 more. I think I will camp and try to get there early in the morning.
As I sat there feeling sorry for myself.a sobo came by.
He told me that there was a cache under the tree in 3 miles.
Perhaps wait a few hrs and you could make that.
Yes I can do that so around 6 I headed out . It was still hot but there was shade.at last in the distance I could see a tree.
Come on snail you have got this .
At last the tree and beneath it sat 6 water containers 2 still full whoop. I quickly threw up my tent,put on a brew and then cooked dinner. It was getting dark as I crawled into my bed.
Okay so to hike this section get up early go as far as you can before you melt. Find shelter.Stay there eat dinner hike out around 6.pm
Mileage 14 not included my mad detour
Ps sorry for lack of photos it will get better
