Another awesome camp…great sleep, feeling awesome.
I take a half day, with doing laundry and washing myself next to the river. The water is ice cold so I would boil some water or let it sit in the sun for awhile.
Then I begin the ascent to the first pass.
Honey.
I distinctly remember this route of Honey too. About a kilometer up, there were two dogs neck deep in a thawing horse. I figured they were too occupied to bother me…but of course within a few meters of passing they’ve given up their taste for frosty horse for a much better looking meal.
I’ve had enough. I get off my bike, throw it down and starting running at them barking. Top of my lungs, screaming and barking. It got rid of them.
77% of an incline?! I must be a complete beast!
View looking South before setting up camp. It has gotten a bit chilly at this point.
Hard to understand why the dogs preferred you to the horse. Judging by the success of your dog-based response, maybe your blog should be called “The Leader of the Pack”.
Interesting countryside. Without notation about where you are, I would have guessed you were in Colorado.
