It’s easy to describe what happened today: headwind,
uphill and no water.
Unchanging
view, uphill and headwind are usual in cycling tour, so I do not have to
complain too much about all of those. But no water again?! That surprised me.

| Exhausted |
I thought it is easy to find water
somewhere, so I used a lot of water made myself a cup of cocoa. But I found
that there is almost nobody lives in the national park, and the water in river and
creek is still dirty. I still could not find any drinkable water by 6 pm, and
started to think that probably have to use stove to melt ice or the battle with
a filter to produce some water.
I
saw a truck turned into a place where looks like a construction site. I followed
the truck and found a middle-age man unloading some food and water. I asked him
to share some water. He told me water here is precise, and he only brought 3 gallon
water for himself. I asked him where I can get clean water. He told me the
nearest place is Cantwell, which is too far for a bike to get to today.
Perhaps found that I am in trouble, he
said: ”Get whatever you want, I’ll try to find water myself.” Off course I
cannot really get whatever I want, I took 0.5 gallon of water and said thanks.
