Nobody but us will understand it, but this is a personal win for both of us. We finally made it back to Macdonald pass – – the place where sleet, snow, and wind chill forced us back off the trail. The fog and sleet were so thick we questioned everything we were doing out here. This is the exact place which made us lose trail time and go ahead to Canada while the weather was bad. That day felt like the lowest point of the hike so far. It’s relieving to reach the same place in higher spirits, more accomplished, and confident in our ability to finish this. Huge personal win. Not much of a landscape though!
