JC has gone ahead and planned out the entire Beaver Valley section for us. This section is 119.9 km long and he's split it into 6 hikes, ranging from 17 to 24 km hikes.
Is this the hike when my knee decides NOPE? I think so. More on that later.
The Beaver Valley section is deceiving. Because at a certain point, it turns SOUTH and you start moving AWAY from the northern terminus. Fuck that.
In any case, we are doing the shuttle thing and have 24 km planned. We're back on resort/ski hill territory.
I stopped myself from writing 'I have a crush on my hiking partner' in the notebook found here.
Oh, this is the hike where I suddenly needed to take a shit (thanks stomach meds!) and disappear into the woods with a pack of tissues and a bag to put them in and have a giant dump while leaned up against a tree. I covered it with some bark and returned only slightly embarrassed, plus scratched up from going into the bushes.
In any case, it was a very green hike and I only wanted to cry a little from knee pain afterwards. I end up taking myself to physio mid week.
The drive home throws me off because the sun is red, but I initially mistake it for the moon because it's red from forest fires.
