Got up early in order to do "10 before 10". Ten miles before 10am. The water sources are so far away it's good to hike early when it's cooler and we don't need to drink as much water. The first part of the hike was pretty dismal scenery wise, just forests with lots of dead trees, many blocking the trail. Things opened up towards our lunch spot at the xxx creek. Had a fun hike with Tracy and Katie talking about hiker rewards, like who would be "most likely to succeed" "Miss Congeniality" etc. in the afternoon I stuck in the iPod and speed hiked to mile 1866 where we set up an early camp. It's the highest point of the trail in. Oregon/Washington at 7560 ft. It got cold when the sun went down but otherwise doesn't feel very high, not like, sigh, the wonderful High Sierras.
Sagitaur and Frank joined us at our camp spot and we had dinner together and a fun conversation.
