Sunday, May 12, 2024, Islip Saddle parking to Mile 411, km 32,69, total km 530,37, 9:00 hrs
I wake up at 5:20 and am one of the last hikers starting. It is past 7 when I get going.
I am enjoying the very scenic road walk today as well. Eventhough this part of the road is open, there is almost no traffic.
After 17 km of road, I rejoin the trail. It goes gradually upwards. I am still amazed how the landscape changes every day, so far it has never been boring. I do 30 km today so that I can do the following days just about 23 until I get to a resupply possibility. About 23 km is a distance I feel most comfortable with. When I walk more than that it seems like it never ends, every step feels heavy and difficult.
