Today's map from 8:49 am - "all the nights are freezing"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ky and Thomas have been very busy! The ending point for last night was around Sagebrush Gulch, which you can find on the last map near the yellow trail.
You may think that their hike has been in total isolation, but they met some ranger ladies on horseback that Ky described as "lovely." If only they were able to find food as easily as they found other people - there wasn't much on the trail yesterday, and they had wild onions and stinging nettle for a late dinner.
When you think that Ky and Thomas are starting their hikes at daybreak - roughly 6 or 7 am - and then ending fairly late at night - 8 pm or sometimes even 9 pm, they're pulling 10 hour days on little food, since their food supply depends on what nature provides for them that day. And Ky's latest report, sent today at 8:49 am, said that all the nights on the trip have been close to freezing or below.
