Dix Range and 2 new 46ers

[spaddock]

I finally reach the end of the Yellow trail - only 3.8 miles to Elk Lake road. It was the longest 3.8 miles I have hiked. We do not make it out in daylight. Soon dusk turns to night and we are hiking with our head lamps. We plough thru the mud and water not caring to find our way around.

I just hiked the Dix range this weekend and I felt EXACTLY the same way you did about those last 3.8 miles. After all that up and down I thought the decent was never going to end!

Felt the same way about the mud too, by that time I had no energy to carefully manouever around it, just plowed right through!

Finishing that range made 20 for me.

Congrats on your 46, the champagne was a nice touch!
