The Chinese Wall

The wall is actually a bit more spectacular than we were expecting, obviously it’s bloody big so can’t get it all in a photo, so here’s a few to give you a flavour.

Were in the Bob

Just entered the Bob Marshall Wilderness, apparently it’s full of bears and is burnt to a crisp. Looks alright so far though.

Free Beer

These guys have got to be our top trail angels now, not only did they go out of their way (30 miles to town) to get us some beer for the evening, but they gave it us for free!

Benchmark Wilderness Ranch

They only have a couple of cabins, this one’s ours for this evening. It’s a really lovely place, no electricity, no running water and the cooker is wood fired. Paul’s out front doing his washing in a bowl, ah the simple life.

Sadly they didn’t have our box of food we’d posted ourselves for the next stretch… But luckily a few hikers hadn’t picked up theirs so we were able to raid them for what we needed, think we even ended up with better supplies!

Dearborn Valley

Blimey we’ve been nailing the miles this afternoon, we’re down in this super long and flat valley and it’s pretty easy going.
