Day 125 - PUDS (Pointless Uphills & Downhills)

Mile 2164 to Mile 2190.5 - 26.5 miles

Yesterday we climbed 3500 feet to then drop 2000 feet. This morning we climbed 1500 feet to then drop 2000 feet. So this is where PUDS come in (better than SPUDS - steep pointless etc etc). We climbed all afternoon to gain 3000 feet but this time it looks like we may stay up for a while.
It had been an interesting night as we did not realise nearby logging operations would start at 2.30 am!! Much of the day was then spent locked in trees with NZ type foliage at lower elevation levels

Late afternoon we came over a saddle to espy Mt Adams looking a lot lot closer

It's another 25 miles tomorrow with the 2200 mile marker to tick off.....Weta
