Day 12

The boys and Tennille set up camp around 4:00 pm pacific time today. Dave does like to wake up around 5:00 am, have his coffee and breakfast, pack up camp and be on the trail by 7:00 am. His breakfasts are pretty much the same. Three packets of oatmeal (fruit cream flavors). I pre packaged those and added a scoop of protein powder for more good calories. He makes his instant coffee with a packet of carnation instant breakfast drink (his hiker creamer). Section 8 of this trail is approximately 24 miles. Yesterday they hiked about 5 miles of section 8. Tomorrow they were going to finish section 8 at Tennessee Pass where they would meet their resupply. Tonight, however,they are camping just off Hwy 24. Lat: 39.40170 Long: -106.31638 at Tennessee Pass. It looks like it was a 19 mile day! Check out Facebook later tonight. I'll be posting two pictures that Dave sent yesterday. Jane
