Well, what I knew would happen eventually finally happened today. In almost 900 miles, today was the first time Tom and Ogre couldn’t reach a meeting spot. I had enough gear and supplies to cowboy camp, but the mosquitos were horrible today so that was rather unappealing. I decided to turn around and head back to camp in the safety of Ogre.
Tom was driving on USFS roads, which should have been open to the public, but found that they were heavily gated by logging companies who owned the land.
I was not disappointed at all – the day was hot and buggy, and the trail was heavily overgrown in many areas. Bianca & Ollie camped, and we planned to meet up with them the following day.
