The day started better than expected after the last night – and there was even cold pizza left for breakfast!!! What a great start in the day!
the clouds which had been pushing over the ridge also did their game this morning. Pure #cloudporn…
After a short climb we just continued the ridge line for the rest of the morning.
I gave Sophia a little photo course while were hiking – just some basics about framing if pictures, compositions, selcting different objects and levels in photos and some basics about shutter speed, aperture, etc. That’s the result of a good student… ๐๐๐
The ridge continued and reached a climax in a zone with many wash outs and steep drops. Really spectacular!
And then the final drop to the promised land and the holy grail! Let the food
challenge continue ๐ค๐ผ
How much McD can you eat? A full menu with Quarter Pounder & fries, 2x 10pc Chicken McNuggets, extra large fries, 2 McFlurry ice creams, 3l of Coke and a few bites left and right… I was close to throwing up – but it was worth it. I wasn’t the only one. Nico, one of our hiker friends from Spain who forces me to speak Spnish with him which is really cool! Here I had a break though… ๐
I probably managed to get 4000-5000 calories in. I guess the only day so far where I will actually hit or even exceed my calorie burn from hiking with eating…
We punched in a few more miles after crossing the highway.
After the railway it was just a bit more from one side of the valley to the other side. We continued to a spot which looked fairly flat on the map. Well, it was the flatest part in a steep valley in a rocky river bed. 2x tent and 1x cowboy camp again…
I also have a new spoon after losing mine somewhere. Let’s see which one from
the outfitter “McD” will make the race…
