Day 91

NReveil a la fraiche, toute la tente est gelee et impossibledemettre leschaussures. On decide de se recoucher pour une heure et demie. Le deuxieme reveil est le bon. On commence la journee en crapahutant dans les rochers, on passe a l'est d'un lac au lieu de l'ouest pour eviter une grosse riviere. Ensuite on voit une riviere tres large qui semble profonde mais avec peu de courant. En rigolant je propose de la passer en nageant et trail master le prend au serieux... je lui dit que c'est une idee stupide mais pour lui faire plaisir j'accepte. On se met a moitie a poil on est pret a traverser et la grosse deception pour lui : l'eau nous arrive au ventre au plus haut. Moi ca me va. On passe ensuite un bon moment au soleil a se rechauffer. On repart, on dejeune, ensuite on fait une pause et... on s'endort 30min. Donc on campe bien avant ce qu'on avait prevu mais au moins demain on aura le soleil le matin ! Et ca peu sembler peu mais les miles qu'on a fait dans la neige etaient extenuant, en plus a avancer en zigzag en cherchant le trail on a du faire le double.

Very cold morning, the whole tent is frozen and cant put on the shoes. So we decide to go back to bed for 1h30. The second wake up is the right one. We start the day by scrambling through rocks, we're going along the east side of a lake instead of the west side, this way we can avoid a big river crossing. Then we need to cross another big river. It's very large, seems deep and the current is weak. Normally people bushwack for a while to go upstream and get a better place to cross. But for joking i tell to trail master that we could just swim. Unfortunately he takes it seriously. I tell him that's a stupid idea but to be nice i agree to go with it. So we get half naked, ready to cross and then huge deception for him : at the highest the water is at our bellies. After that we stay for a while in the sun to warm up. We hike again, stop for lunch, stop again later and... fall asleep for 30min. So we camp well before what we had planned but at least tomorrow we'll have the sun in the morning ! And it might seems like nothing but the miles we did were very tiring and after doing so many zigzags while searching the trail we might habe doubled our mileage.
