Journal Entry for Sunday, September 21, 2008
Day 155 - Southwest base of Windy Joe Mountain to
Manning Park -
4.4 miles - milepost 2663.5
Yesterday we made camp at about 3:00 PM even though
we only had about 4 miles to get to Manning Park. We
could have continued, but we had reservations at the
lodge for today and we decided to stick to our
original plan. The Waffles decided to continue to the
lodge, and the Shiek stayed with Irish, Damp Dan, and
I.
It started raining at about 7:30 PM and it continued all
night long. My new tent worked great and my gear and
I stayed completely dry.
We wanted to get to the lodge for breakfast so we all
were hiking by 6:15 AM by the light of our headlamps. We
made it to the lodge right as the restaurant was opening
at 8:00 AM.
It still hasn't sunk in that the trek is over. We went
through our normal in-town routine: laundry, hot tub, and
relaxing. This time there was no worries about
resupplying, however.
We met Scratch's brother Daniel, and Oasis and
Scratches arived in the afternoon.
Take care and see you down the trail..
