August 17 - Into the Wilderness

Post date: Aug 19, 2012 6:08:21 PM

The hike today began with this warning:

Another attribute of the 100 Mile Wilderness is very poor cell phone coverage.

The hike today was very show going due to the prior two days rain. Muddy, slippery conditions existed the entire day. While the terrain was generally flat, there were small ascents and descents with the descents generally resulting in a stream to cross. Due to the rain, the numerous streams and brooks encountered this day were quite deep and moving with speed so careful crossing took time.

The day ended at Wilson Valley Lean-to.
