Sept 5 - this is HARD

Sept 5
Mile 739.82
Mileage 17.43 miles
Elevation gain 3233'

It's been about 6 weeks since I was last hiking, and a long time since I have hiked above 10,000'. It's pretty demanding. 

Fortunately the weather is great, although last night was pretty cold at 21F. I'm still hiking in shorts during the day. 

At mile 750 I need to have all my food in the bear can. I borrowed a larger can from trail angel Russ but it is still not enough. The problem is that I'm trying to go 175 miles, steep, high elevation miles, carrying 9 days of food.
