Day Four, 21 June, 10.5 miles
At Mile 70, Poptart 18/1000
Rained on and off all night and most of today. Caught up with Macon Tracks and Not Yet after a hefty ford. Up towards Triple Divide Pass where I started feeling yesterday. Pretty straightforward up the pass, even in almost whiteout. Actually if it was ever going to rain on any pass I’m on (it already has) Triple Divide is the one. Snowmelt and rain starting here don’t have too much space to decide whether they want to end up in the Pacific, Atlantic or Hudson Bay. It would be cool to go up Triple Divide Peak, to the true divide, but whiteout, you know. Was with David and Becky at this point and we did what seems everybody else did in not dropping enough off the pass and hitting the top of a cliff, spotting the trail down below. Getting pretty wet by then, not much snow about except these burly death chutes that kept appearing around almost every bend. Got to Atlantic Creek about 1.30, David and Becky offered to share their site with me which I gladly accepted. The rest of the campsite was booked out with thru-hikers, Macon Tracks and Not Yet, Pace, Whitefish, Coach, Lake and Gabe. Four of us from the PCT last year. So good times. I think this is the most thru-hikers I’ve ever camped with. Crazy. Think it’s clearing finally...
