Walk to The Garden

Beautiful day! Really bushwhacky on the north side - the trail doesn't really exist. Found a good groove on the gravel road, but my feet totally blew up on the 9 mile stretch of uphill paved road after that. Turns out the Speed Cross aren't great for pavement pounding 😅 A worried person pulled over and warned me that there have been some mountain lion sightings in the area recently... So that was on my mind as I headed back on to the trail and the sun started to set. Wanted to die at fish lake campground, but just refilled my water and kept going instead. I was pretty sure my toes were falling off in the last five miles, which was a great distraction from the eyes looking at me from the dark forest. Phone died just before I got to the finish. Full body cramping ensued.
