Day 20 (2 June 2024) - The day of flowers

 Miles - 13.4

Total Miles - 167, Miles left - 48.7 (per NCT map)  
Elevation Gain - 273' - 10,254' total
days - 20 hiking, 30 total since start 

Bike shuttling - 0 miles (total - 71.5 miles)

The first 7ish miles were my last trail miles for awhile - and holy crap but they were beautiful.  I finished up through the barrens ending at the Saint Croix River.  Just absolutely gorgeous.  So many flowers.  Deb met me at the end of the trail and I had lunch before I began the road section.  Today was mostly gravel and almost no traffic.  Another amazingly warm sunny day.

Today I saw 2 more people on the trail a few miles before the road section, that makes 6 people total outside of Copper Falls SP.  It's nice having the trail all to myself but it's unfortunate that more people don't take advantage of this amazing trail.
