Campsite at mile 1658.03 to Campsite by unpaved road 47N81

Some days you wish for a road walk. 

Lots of climbing today, and I seem to slow to a crawl on steep up hills, especially when it is hot, and it was hot today. 

At one point the trail crossed a dirt road, and I remember seeing on a map that the trail crossed this road in a few miles. But I stuck to the trail. The trail went up and down on the side of a mountain with views of the road below. The rocks on the trail made my feet wish I had taken the road, with its presumably smoother surface. 

Oh well, with the help of ibuprofen my feet have completed another day. Tomorrow we get to the California/Oregon border!

  1. I sympathize with your feet. 47 years they lived with reasonable Brad, they had a cushy life. Now that they expect the best, look out! Poor things.
