20 Miles
Five Miles Outta Yellowstone
After a lateish night of hiking and staying up with Flyboxer, Raffle, and a nobo named Beef Stew everyone woke up and got out a little later than usual. Spins and I left camp last around twenty of ten which may or may not be a record. It didn't matter though because the maps looked like the day would be mostly along the river and in the valley. Once we started hiking I realized it was UP the valley along the river for a majority of the day. We traveled though burn area pretty much all day along the snake river which meanders nicely in the valley with a clear to gray-blue hue in deeper spots. Unfortunately, it was a fording day so I crossed numerous rivers getting my feet wet and having super wrinkly feet which resulted in a couple new blisters. Nothing to bad and nothing even remotely close to the foot craziness of Glacier. Three quarters thought the day we left Yellowstone and crossed into the Teton Wilderness and found camp shortly after dinner. Considering the late start getting twenty miles in today was relatively painless. Tomorrow morning I get to head down to the partying of the waters which I have been looking forward to to the whole trip!
