After such a grueling day on Monday, we knew that we needed a break. Unfortunately, Cooks Station, in spite of the very good breakfast, was no place to have a layover day, so onward and upward we went. Our plan was to try to get in 24 miles, but after just 2 or 3 I felt like it was too much to ask, so out went the thumb :( Oh well. We got a lift of about 20 miles to Kirkwood. We have ridden into the village, got provisions, and will be making our way out to a Forest Service campground very nearby.
Humble Pie is not my favorite dish, but it beats a wretched death by starvation. Once in camp, I may be energized to fill in some additional details, but for now, that's what you get.
Sounds like you needed to respite. Hopefully things get easier when the big hill in front of you is behind you.
