Running (Trail) 9:27:55 [3] 38.0 mi (14:57 / mi) +5512ft 13:08 / mi
slept:9.0 shoes: Mtn. Masochists
A great idea that turned into great confusion followed the greatest relief seeing Matt's face coming towards me at 6:30 pm after 8.5 hrs of Mattlessness.
Plan - On the PCT from Rainy Pass to the Methow River. Leave the PCT in the NW direction to Mebee Pass and then Majestic Mtn Loop. Back to PCT and then run out along the Methow River with Matt to Ballard Campground/Rattlesnake TH.
Actual - MM Loop proved extra-heinous and fully riddled with possibilities for multiple and asundry epics. Hence, stayed on PCT and attempted to find Matt for a rendezvous at 4 pm at 4400 feet on PCT 2 miles south of trail junction spilling east to Ballard Cmpgd. No rendezvous at 4 pm, or 5 pm, or 6 pm. Rather, 6:30 pm found me running back up to the PCT and bleating.."MATT" every 2.4 minutes.
