Not much to report today as the hike was fairly long and without much change in landscape.
We started with frozen water, faces, and hands and climbed a few hundred feet to get into sun so we warmed up. Along the trail we met up with Happy Trails who started around the same time.
Later he joined us for a quick lunch.
We also met up with Jersey Shore, real name Sean (real trail name Lux), who tackled snow covered Baden Powell peak. We are in awe. However, he said we were the smart ones. Thanks, Sean.
Last note for the day: trail Angels are everywhere. These selfless helpers sometimes leave their mark along the trail as in this picture.
Oops. I stopped too soon. At 9:00 pm a car drove into the picnic area where we were camping and someone yelled, "Hey hiker trash! We've got wine and snacks." Justin and I got up to meet 2013 thru hikers Tentstake and NinjaTank. We shared a bottle of wine and some trail magic happened. Thanks Tentstake and NinjaTank!!!
