Today's trail thoroughly sucked. A lot. Worst trail so far. There was a ton of hike-a-bike; it almost seemed like we spent as much time off our bikes as we did on them. There were a lot of short unrideable ups and downs. Horse traffic has really damaged this section of trail, as it was excessively rocky and covered in horseshit. I am very glad to be off the bike for now. Today we met a through hiker heading north (the first one going in that direction). He was traveling very light, it looked like his pack wasn't much larger than mine and that is all he was carrying. We also met another northbound through hiker at the camp ground. His name is Chris and he claims both Durango and Charlottesville, VA as home. He tells us that he once played Magic the Gathering professionally. Tomorrow's going to be damn tough too. Two last things - it was pretty funny when the cows blocked the trail today, and the stars are absolutely incredible tonight.
