It was a good section to hike in rain — few rocks to make slippery. Very well maintained.My goal today was to get to the Council Bluffs Lake spur, and I nearly stopped there — it was flat enough. The trail was doing the ozark trail canopy “hug the contour line” thing again, with nowhere to pull off to camp, until I saw a majestic pine below me next to a pool of water. I could see evidence of other hikers bushwhacking down there, so I did the same.
According to my map, the High Route is 6.75 miles, almost 3 miles longer than the Low Route. I am extremely skeptical about mileage in this area. Its huge, sweeping switchbacks never seemed to end. If I hadn’t found some unexpected water in a hollow, I would have been in trouble. Even though it was very hot, I was moving at a good pace — still, it took me hours longer than anticipated.
It slowly got more intense, until my last 4-5 miles which were in rain. I suppose because yesterday was so epic, and today started with miles of briers along the Current River, I was in a funk. Don’t get me wrong, the Current was gorgeous — but dang, did I end up with a lot of scrapes. I have to put it into perspective, though — there was devastating flooding along the OT earlier this year, and that fact that the trail is open at all is inspiring. I planned to camp at the fenceline of Peck Ranch, since I can’t camp within the ranch, but about 3/4 of a mile before the fenceline, there was a large clearing where the two backpackers had set up. They invited me to camp with them, and although I first declined, I changed my mind.
Nazarenko Spring, I later learned — the nicest, most pine-needly campsite on the entire trail. That spur trail to the lodge was a lot less fun going up — I had 6 days of food in my pack plus all the leftover food. Despite leaving a big pile of food at the lodge (like an ozark trail camping entire package of tortillas), my pack was bursting.Luckily, the next miles were gentle, hugging a contour line. Even so, every hour I had to lay down in the middle of the trail to rest. And I mean really spread-eagle in the dirt, halfway passed out from exhaustion.
