| no partners | | Left a car at Stateline Campground and then did a water drop on Winter Road before heading down to Orderville TH to start our hike. Got a late start after lunch at the TH and made it to Navajo TJ to camp for the night. I really enjoyed the trail (nice soft pine covered trail, shade, the ravine...), and the night was clear and warm. Lots of wind, but that helped keep it cool during the hike.
Got up early the next day to try to beat the heat as we made our way down to the border. It did warm up quite a lot (was happy for the trekking umbrella) but we again had lots of wind to keep us from overheating too much (even if it did turn my umbrella into a satellite dish on more than one occasion). The views were wonderful as we made our way down those last few miles.
We met father and daughter thru hikers Don and Allison who were just finishing up the day we left our car at Stateline. They had started April 1st. And another thru hiker finished up the same day we were there. Must be the last of the thru hikers, but way to go class of 2017 
This makes mile 734 for us - with a few more hikes set to connect the dots. Getting there... |
