Day 148: Still Smokey, but a Good Day

September 5, 2017
Mile 2416.28 Campsite to Mile 2441.70 Deception Creek

A good day! Finally, geez. Some days you feel like the trail is crumbling around you and others you feel unstoppable. We got a bit of a late start at around 8:00 this morning, but we made really good time. I’m not really sure why, but we were able to just crush some miles and busted out a 25 miler (even though we got to camp close to 9:00). The terrain was mild and the conversation fun making the miles fly by. The only downside being that the smoke was once again thick. We couldn’t see anything despite hiking along exposed ridges with undoubtedly excellent views. Oh well, what can you do?
