West Coast Trail Trip 2008 - Day 2

• Got 4 or 5 good hours of sleep and wake at 9


• Ron and Mark already up and packing slowly


• Decide to get ready quickly and have a cold breakfast


• Set out ahead of everyone else and walk the beach to twocowis.


• Meet another couple going south at the ladders but pass them


• Have lunch on the beach by the anchor.


• Knees have been sore again, especially my left which is odd because it is usually my right that gives me problems


• Path has been pretty good but more wet and muddy


• Get to the cable car on my own and haul self across


• Trail conditions get worse from here. Lots of storm damage.


• Make it to the beach at tsusiat by 2:30


• No one there so take some pictures, email home and work and wash socks and get some water


• Was going to stay here until after dinner and then carry on to hole in the wall but about 5 other groups arrive so pack up and head out at 5


• Possible spot to hang hammock at Hole in the Wall but meet first other solo hiker coming the other way. Compare notes with him on Spot(which has been working fine but also have Telus cell phone coverage all the way from Banfield)


• Carry on to beach acces at KM29 and find nice spot to hang hammock


• Get fire going and make dinner


• Almost a full moon tonight


• No body at all around
