| Which Way Should I Go? |
Somewhere in the Great Basin the Continental Divide Trail meets the California and Oregon Trails. It was a surprise to see these trail markers. Apparently the Oregon Trail is more than an educational video game! Our last water in the basin before South Pass City was a lovely river where I took time to wash a pair of socks as I stood in the river and smiled. After eating dinner at the river, I hiked two more miles to make sure I would arrive in South Pass City in time to get my resupply box and meet the other hikers for a shuttle ride into Lander.
Tuesday, July 31
I was hiking at 6:00 AM and followed a road most of the way into South Pass City After a bit of exploring, I retrieved my resupply box at the general store and promptly opened it and began eating! (I didn't carry quite enough food on the last section to completely satisfy my hunger.) I sat in the shade waiting for a shuttle to arrive and take 8 of us to Lander for a proper resupply including laundry, shower, town food and a BED. We'll return to South Pass City in the morning and soon be in the Winds!
