Today we joined back with the CDT and the collegiate west. It was a huge, terrible climb up but when we got up it felt awesome. We stopped for lunch a little while later and we ur friends who took the collegiate west showed up. We had lunch with them and then kept going. My hip started to really bother me and I wasn’t sure if I was gonna be able to go as far as we planned today but then we stopped for some weather and after that my hip was totally fine. It was bizarre. We met a guy from Brattleboro who was bikepacking the CDT and went to Hazel’s school. That was cool. We went another fourish miles and made camp. Later on another friend who we hadn’t seen in forever showed up so that was cool.
