beautiful warm sunny morning on the hill next to Johnson Gulch. the morning stayed warm while we hiked to Kenosha Pass, where I got super homesick and wanted to catch a ride home to see my dog.
Lamar hiking with us on a yurt trip earlier this summer, best mountain bulldog ever
the great part about Kenosha Pass was that we were able to eat lunch at a picnic table and throw out 5 days worth of trash. truly exciting. we filled our water up at the campground on the west side of 285 and carried too much water for the rest of the day. our water filter at this point has been a hand pumper and it takes too much time to fill up what we need, so we took advantage of the spigot at the campground and suffered the rest of the afternoon.
after Kenosha Pass we hit Miller Creek, which is beautiful and reminiscent of the Kancamangus in NH. Miller Creek also marks the start of the climb over Georgia Pass, which will be our first time (of a million) up and over the Continental Divide.
we camped about halfway up the pass in an area with quite a few bear prints. but we yelled and found that we had a neighbor - an older gentleman named Fred who was hiking from Kenosha Pass to Breckenridge, solo.
went to bed, prepping for a big day tomorrow.
