Roger's Pass to MacDonald Pass
The afternoon I left Lincoln we got in about 7 miles before setting up camp. We were at the top of the ridge so we left the rain fly off to see the sunrise. I set my best morning time and it only took me an hour to get up and ready. Usually most of the time is spent wrapping my feet but now I only have 3 painful blisters left which is a HUGE improvement. The days next few days were 20 mile days and tough to jump right back into. The breaks are a nice relief but the first several steps flyer a break are always really difficult. We stayed higher on the divide and was happy because this means there were no water crossings unfortunately that means no water. I was concerned the dogs needed the water because it gets hot high on the divide. The other tough part was a large amount of road walking which makes everything hurt. We did a little bush wacking trying to find a Leys alternative but we eventually found it. We passed lots of cows in this section but saw some beautiful views and come old mining remains.
