Today we woke up well rested from yesterdays beach day. We left around 7:30am for the last stretch of the trail. The trail was not easy on us, adding an extra km today to get from the beach to the trail via a very tall ladder - 107 rungs!
After trekking for the past 5 days, the rest of the trail was no surprise to us. A mix of everything for one last hurrah! Ladders, mud, roots and newbie hikers starting in the other direction. Guess you could call us trail snobs :)We passed another donkey engine and lots of old, thick cable leftover from early loggers many years ago.We could tell we were getting closer to the trailhead as we could hear boats at Gordon River.
We made it to km 75. WOW! Definitely a trek of a lifetime. We completed it and it left us with a huge feeling of accomplishment!
We took the ferry to the other side of Gordon River where we signed out at the registration centre. One last thing we wanted to do was weigh our bags.
Willy's bag: 37 lbs.
Very manageable, we were so pleased with ourselves.
Total km's today: 5+1
Thrashers Cove to Gordon River Trailhead
Hours: 3 hours, 18 minutes
