Day 10: Booze Drop Gone Wrong

Posted by Jamey on January 8, 2023 at 10:30 PM Comments comments (0)

Sunday, Sept. 18th, 2016


When we woke up, all of us started packing our packs and we left just a little bit before Jeremy & Vanessa. And that would be the last we would see of them unfortunately.

After crossing a beaver pond and a bunch of mushrooms we came to Britton Peak where we had another booze drop…gone wrong. Well it wa...

Day 9: BOCCE!!!

Posted by Jamey on January 8, 2023 at 10:10 PM Comments comments (0)

So….we ended up sleeping in until 11am!!! This wasn’t only due to the fact I was hungover (and Ragged puked during the night…not to a hangover he claims but rather a bad cooked burger at the bar…hmmmm) but also due to the fact it was raining all morning long.


Didn’t leave the campsite until after noon…our latest start yet. But that was fine as we didn’t have that far to go until we made it to Oberg Mt. where our next food and booze d...

Day 8: FREE Beers @ Lutsen

Posted by Jamey on January 5, 2023 at 4:50 PM Comments comments (0)

Friday, Sept. 16th, 2016

Did the usual of waking up, packing and having some breakie. Had some nice views of Lake Superior along the way. Made it to Lake Agnes where we decided to stop and have a quick dip. There was a lady camping here with a dog and she nor the dog would leave us alone. I kinda wanted to skinny dip as I didn’t want my boxers to be wet for days and almost just stripped down in front of her and jumped in (which looking back I probably should have) but decided to j...

Day 7: iPhone Down

Posted by Jamey on June 1, 2020 at 4:50 PM Comments comments (0)

Thursday, Sept. 15th, 2016


So, I haven’t mentioned it yet but my iPhone battery was running very very low and my solar panel charger wasn’t working or just wasn’t getting enough sunlight as the trail had lots of shade. Plus, we were walking N to S so our backs weren’t into the sun. Unfortunately, this meant I woke up to a dead phone. ☹ Not cool especially since it was my only way of taking photos, plus it was what I used to write my blog.

Day 6: Big Mushroom & Big Fires

Wednesday, Sept. 14th, 2016


When we woke, we learned that we had camped with six ladies. Made small talk over breakie and enjoyed the views of the river.




 

Back on the trail we followed the river for a bit and then continued on to Pincushion Mtn. Met lots of older folks hiking along the way and...

Day 5: The Big Ol' Lake & First Food Drop

Tuesday, Sept. 13th, 2016


Today would be the first and only day we would actually walk along Lake Superior. When we made it there, all three of us decided to get refreshed by having a quick dip in the lake. It was freezing but felt so good to have a quick bath.




The trail followed the beach for a mile in a...

Day 4: Mystery of the Falls

Posted by Jamey on November 24, 2017 at 9:25 AM Comments comments (0)

Monday, Sept. 12th, 2016

Did our usual routine of waking up, making breakfast, packing our tent and gear and then hitting the trail. Made it to Devils Kettle Falls which was really cool. I saw a YouTube video last year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul1b_3eH9sA) about it as it is one of the mysteries of the world cause the river splits in two here; half the water goes into a hole and they have no idea where this water goes.

Day 3: Will Puppy Dog Make It?

Posted by Jamey on November 24, 2017 at 9:10 AM Comments comments (0)

Slept much better the second night and felt so nice to rest our bodies. Both Ragged and I had very sore hips when we woke up and it hurt to put the packs on but we had to make it to our next camp so off we went.




We were starting to get our trail legs and even though we were sore we could tell we were getting stronger. We a...

Saturday, Sept. 10th, 2016


I didn't sleep that well as I was tossing and turning all night. Plus MacGyver took up a lot of my sleeping pad and tent…he’s a big dog! It was about 8:00am and Allie & Pop were cooking breakfast.



Chatted with them while we made breakfast and packed up our stuff. By about 9:...

Friday, Sept 9th, 2016


Wanted to wake up early to organize my stuff but since we didn't fall asleep until 2:30am I slept until 9:00am. Was so nice to have more than 5 hours of sleep. Organized a bit, left some booze at the trailhead and went to do another food drop...hopefully faster and smoother than last night. :/


Found the trailhead and went looking for a branch. Didn't take too long to find one and about half an hour later it was hung and we were on our...

Day 0: Cops & Fucking Food Drops

Posted by Jamey on October 27, 2017 at 12:20 AM Comments comments (0)

Thursday, Sept. 8th, 2016

Slept for 3 hours and tried to get up and start driving again but it wasn't happening so I stopped and slept for another 2 hours. This means I would be late but I was already behind schedule so what's another few hours.


Tried making some of that time by speeding some more. My Waze works pretty good by other users reporting when they see cops so you know when they are coming. Well not this time as I cruised into MN as there was an officer hidi...

Day -1: Flat Tires Suck

Posted by Jamey on October 26, 2017 at 11:35 AM Comments comments (0)

Wednesday, Sept. 7th, 2016


My alarm went off 5 hours later at 5:30am as I wanted to get thru Denver before rush hour. After driving 30 feet I felt a thump thump thump and so I got out and saw I had a flat tire. Fuck.


I had two choices; call AAA and have them come out to fix it or put the spare on and drive to nearest tire shop. I chose the latter and regretted it a bit as I had to take a bunch of things out to access the jack plus it took me awhile to figu...

SHT Day -2: Showers Are Good

Posted by Jamey on October 24, 2017 at 11:25 AM Comments comments (0)

Woke up bright and early so I could make it to LA around 11am and avoid as much traffic as possible. Still ended sitting in like an hour of traffic but got puppy dog and headed to my family friends house in Fullerton.




When I arrived they weren't home but they were kind enough to leave a key for me so I could get my stuff a...

SHT Day -3: Longest Road Trip EVER

Monday Sept. 5th, 2016


Let the adventure...aka 52 hours of driving to the start of the Superior Hiking Trail...begin. It all starts in Black Rock City at the last day of Burning Man (craziest and coolest festival I have ever been to) which they call Exodus. 70,000 people leave and all need to get onto a single lane highway…so the traffic is crazy…like 10 times worse than LA traffic during rush hour!. I ended up leaving at noon and it took 6 hours to drive 4 miles...

Day 21: A Happy Ending

Posted by Jamey on December 5, 2015 at 7:00 PM Comments comments (2)

My alarm went off at 5am bright and early. Wrote in my journal until 5:30am and got up. Tried to be quiet while I was packing up to not wake anyone else up but Mike, the tour guide, was already up to get coffee and breakfast started. A few of the guys were out and about by the time I left at 6:45am, my earliest start yet.


I had decided to skip breakfast to save time and get rolling. Said my goodbyes and thank you's to whoever was up and left. The sun was just rising and it ...

Day 20: Crazy Mt Bike Gang Made Me Do Tequila Shots

Posted by Jamey on December 5, 2015 at 12:45 AM Comments comments (2)

When I woke up it wasn't too cold nor was my tent damp with condensation so that was nice. Made breakfast and hot chocolate while I sat and enjoyed the view. Two bow hunters walked over the bridge so I waved and they waved back.


Check out this video...probably my favorite video of the trip cause it was by far the coolest campsite yet!

Day 19: Just When I Thought It Couldn't Get Better...It Does

Posted by Jamey on November 30, 2015 at 8:00 PM Comments comments (2)

I wanted to get a super early start so that I could hitch a ride into Silverton ASAP to get my resupply box at the post office. I had no idea if they were open on Saturdays but was hoping. Alarm went off at 5:30am. Wrote in my journal for a bit and then got up.

 

Wasn't as cold as it usually is so that was nice. But when I got out of the tent one of my flip flops were missing. I had left it outside my tent with my shoes and water (CamelBak). I found it like 10 feet away next...

Day 18: Home On Wheels

Posted by Jamey on November 30, 2015 at 7:00 PM Comments comments (0)

When my alarm went off it was way too cold to get up. Thought I hit snooze but accidentally turned it off. This meant I kept sleeping until the hot sun heated up my tent and woke me up. The first time I was actually warm when I got out of the tent!

 

It was 8am and I was behind schedule. I wanted to leave by 7:30am so that I could try to ride the 30 miles to the highway which would take me to Silverton. Hurried and hit the trail at 8:30am.

 

Today there wer...

Day 17: First Aid Kit, Highest Point, Elk & Moose

Posted by Jamey on November 29, 2015 at 1:10 AM Comments comments (0)

It was so nice waking up warm and in a bed. It wasn't nice sleeping with people who snore. But it was totally worth it and I loved that I didn't have to pack up a wet tent.

 

John was up as well as another guy who was hiking the CT. We asked if he needed a ride to the trail and he said that would be much better than trying to hitchhike. I ordered a breakfast bagel and cappuccino from the coffee shop next door and we loaded our stuff into Hannahs' car.

Day 16: People are Awesome, Restoring My Faith In Humankind

Brrrrrrr. Another cold morning. Instead of my tent being wet this morning it was frozen. When I opened up the door little snowflakes fell down on me instead of raindrops.

 

Packed up, made breakfast and started climbing. Up I went until I got to where the sun was and it felt so nice to start to feel warm. Pretty soon I was hot so had to stop and take off my layers.
