CDT Montana 2016
Day 8, July 13, Wednesday.
Start 05-327WT near Sheep Creek
Stop 06-145M along Nicholie Creek
Miles on trail: 26
Interesting rocky mountains come into view that we may pass.
The trail comes to Bannack Pass.
This is somewhat confusing, since we will cross Bannock Pass (note difference in spelling) in a couple of days or so.
View back from pass
I meet the hiker Knees going south.
Deadman Lake
At Nicholia Creek Bridge I have done roughly 25 miles, which was a goal DNA mentioned, so I wonder if he will appear soon.
Later I go along Nicolie Creek a couple of miles, looking for a good campsite among trees, and finally settling for an exposed site near the creek.
