Day ThirtyEight, 25 july, 25 Miles
At Mile 790, Poptart 242/1000
Not as moist as I was anticipating last night. Same old undulating same old. The Guidebook informed us that the upcoming section would provide a "rare opportunity to hike, in open grassland country, for several miles along the narrow crest of the Continental Divide." Yeah, man, that's exactly what we've been doing for days now. Instead, we scoped a flat, cowland, potentially Sagebrush filled cross country route that was crap but so so much fun. Made for a great day. And a hot day. Rejoined the CDT only a couple minutes behind Joker, Rock Steady, Hawkeye and Kombucha. Hit up I15 afriggengain. Scoped out the incredible Monida junkyard with Queen Frostine, near miss with the owner who ended up being super friendly. Lima is a tiny town but the Mountain View Motel is hiker friendly and Mike and Connie (hotel owners) are true trail angels. Another Nepali Flash while talking to Connie, who gets them too. I'm not alone.
