It’s my birthday! We got on the trail about 9am and finished the last 8 miles of segment 1 and 5 miles on segment 2. Segment 2 was especially rough because those first 5 miles were in a burnout area and the trail was uphill. We had to dry camp with only 3 liters between us, so we didn’t get to have a hot meal for dinner tonight. We ate protein bars and dry fruit. The dark chocolate cheesecake mix was actually pretty good! It only took 2/3 C of cold water to make it. All in all it was a tough day and I don’t have anything much to say other than I can’t wait to crawl in my bed for some sleep.
