At Mile 1463, Poptart 514/1000
Oh the rain! So much pain, so much glory. Last night was amazing, to not sleep on a lump. Even when some truck drives by my head at two in the morning. What? Five more miles on the highway then up to a dirt road via some tetanus wire. Finally hit trail this afternoon. Opening weekend of bow-hunting season so plenty of camo around, usually featuring a loud vehicle. Broke out raining early in the evening as we were high on the divide. And it was wonderful. The light, clouds, lashings of rain, rainbows, lightning. All coming together to perform the most wonderful dance around us. We appreciated it. Approaching dark, Joker and I stumbled across perhaps the best campsite of the trail so far. RT, Hawkeye and Kombucha soon joined us. Set up my tarp facing the storm over Parkview Mountain (tomorrows destination), out of the wind howling over and around, with a little purple wildflower beside me.
