Finding My Hiker Legs? Day 5
Today was a much improved day from the previous. I had decided to take my time, and not to push myself too greatly. A nice slow tortoise pace.
I was suspecting that having wet feet was being the biggest culprit to my problems. Sure enough one of our first challenges for the day was a ford of Red Eagle Creek. The water was particularly cold, but had the side benefit of numbing my feet. On the other side I took a bit of a break, removed my shoes and rung out my socks and insoles as I let the pruning of my feet dissipate. Turns out this little ritual of stopping and ringing the water out of my socks and insoles whenever my feet would get wet from water or snow became a life saver, and my feet thanked me greatly.
As for the Pass, the going was only moderately difficult, and I was feeling pretty solid when I reached the top. When I got there George had already started up Triple Divide Mountain. He has a bit of climbing experience and wanted to bag this one, but not necessarily for just that reason alone. We rooted him on as he reached the top and disappeared. He managed to urinate on three watersheds, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Hudson Bay, before coming back down. The rest of the day I was on cruise control, all the way into Atlantic Creek Campground.
Tomorrow we get into Two Medicine, another little Car Camp area with General store. I can taste the hot dogs.
