Another cold night and again our water bottle froze. Also, the condensation on the inside of the roof of our tent had frozen. Needless to say it was hard to get out of our sleeping bags. With the days getting shorter we are now starting to hike at 6:30.The day included more great scenery and beautiful weather. We climbed a number of steep hills as well as Benson Pass (10,108′) and Seavey Pass (9131′).Another highlight was crossing paths with ‘Simless’ who we had hiked with a bit in Oregon. He is heading south and has about 200 miles to finish.Now we are snug in our tent after a good dinner. It has clouded over so maybe it won’t be so cold tonight. We now have less than 400 miles to go.
