I really like it here in the basin.  I love the big views and the animals and the easy miles.  The trail is mostly 2-track dirt roads.  Today I saw numerous antelope herds, some wild horses (one up close), several horny toads, and of course cows.  I also saw the skin of a gutted antelope. I saw no other hikers today, and only two trucks on the main dirt road which the CDT follows for a short distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today at 3:00 I found a small shady spot behind some rocks.  Shade is very rare out here so this was quite a find.  I laid out my ground cloth and pack and dozed for 20 minutes.  So nice!  Tomorrow is supposed to be much hotter so I may repeat this if possible during the hot time of the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did 27 miles to get to a water cache.  I’m camped in the little corral next to the cache.  The cache had a logbook and I saw several other hikers were here earlier today, including Townie and Animal.  Gaucho was here yesterday, and Mav the day before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My bad ankle started to really hurt today after 16 miles and wouldn’t stop until I took 4 more ibuprofens. That was a grand total of 12 today.\u00a0 I know they are bad for me, but I need to finish the hike and I couldn’t really walk otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
