Report
I left from the Northern California Park TH heading clockwise on the Bears Ears Loop. It was 4am. I carried everything in my pack that I would need for the day.
At mile 19 Nathan Grivy met me at the Black Mountain road and had cold drinks and snacks I saw noone on this stretch of trail. I continued on. The weather was
beautiful all day. LOTS OF DOWNED TREES ACROSS THE TRAIL from a recent storm and a harsh winter. I met up again with Nathan at mile 38 and he ran the last 12 miles with me. The run went well, I did end up with a few blisters. I think they were caused from my feet being wet all day. Misquitos were a huge ordeal all day. I carried bug juice and reapplied hourly. It was dark when we got to the finish.
