62 2783.5<\/a> 8\/15\/2021 sunny, hot, smoky. Got up about 4:30. No one else at the Tentsite. Very quiet too. Did my morning chores and headed out. On trail about 5:35 am. Immediately had a 1000\u2019 climb followed by 6 more. The scenery was stunning. The Chinese Wall was the back drop. Hopefully some of my pictures turned out. The air is very smoky and is obscuring the views. Met a flip-flipper \u201cBirds\u201d. Passed by a woman hiker filtering water 50\u2019 away. She\u2019s a weekend hiker. Then in the afternoon met two guys named \u201cOx\u201d and \u201cGazelle\u201d who were on a 12 day 90 mile hike with 55 lb packs – oh my! I continued on while listening to audio books. Finished one book and started another. Finally got to my last water and filled everything. I climbed a small hill looking for a flat spot. In a cluster of pines I found one. It was a 22 mile day. I sent a message to Justin that we are meeting at Fool Creek tomorrow. It\u2019ll be another long day with big mileage and a bunch of climbs. But seeing Justin will make it worth it. Night night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Wikipedia<\/a>: “The Chinese Wall<\/strong> is a large escarpment<\/a> located in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area<\/a> in Montana<\/a>. While definitions of the length of the wall vary (to up to forty miles) the part of the wall that is most well defined and continuous is about twelve miles long.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately the smoke obscured my view. Nevertheless the width and height of the Chinese Wall dwarfed the rest of the native scenery that I was hiking through<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yet some of the fallen boulders were as big as a house and I wondered what it would be like if a boulder that size were to fall near me during my hike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
