Everything went pretty smoothly until the last steps up Copper and down from there. My body and mind struggled and I lost significant time here. Once I was on the trail to Cub things seemed to get back on track. I carried 3.2 L of water with me and refilled at the creek on the connector between Bear Camp and the Mt. Rose trail. By the time I got to the Wagonwheel TH I was dry.
I had planned to run this back from Wagonwheel to Big Creek, just like the first boys did, but I was in bad shape. A human heading home from Staircase offered me a ride and I took it. I'm quite certain I contaminated her car with my body scents. She was an angel.
