8/16 The miles are getting easier, as the views become more fantastic!
By the end of the day, were planning on being at the outskirts of the Indian heaven wilderness. Which is a highly regulated designated camping area. We’re trying to plan our days through, while a bidding the rules.
So we are heading to sheep lake. At least there’s plenty of berries.
Lots of water.
A lot of the day is spent circumventing a huge basalt field. We must be close to Mt St. Helens. In fact the trail has kind off a grey ashy ground. This is a great
place for horses.
Coffee at crested butte. We arrive at sheep lake late evening. It’s really just a pond. Glad we have water filters…mmmm yummy warm bog water. Can’t complain though!
