West Coast Trail - Cullite Cove to Thrasher Cove (km 70)

The tides were such that the hiking this day was entirely in the forest. Two words: muddy roots. The kilometers between Camper Creek (km 62) and Thrasher Cove (km 70) were some of the toughest that we did. Each km took us about an hour! There was a cable car at Camper (I'll try to post a picture, maybe Weaze has one), and then muddy roots, muddy roots, and muddy roots.

Thrasher Cove took about an hour to hike down too, once we got to km 70. Thrasher was nice, but we knew it meant hiking the same km back up. We were pretty happy for this to be our last night, because at this point it had been raining long enough that pretty much all of our stuff was wet.

We unrolled our damp thermarests into the bottom of the tent (with it's mini-lake), and then sleeping bags after that. Mine was reasonably dry, just wet a bit on the outside, but surprisingly warm inside. That said, when we packed up the next morning (still raining, of course), we were pretty stoked to know if was the last pack up, and that we only had 5 km to go!
