Day 21-friends of tungsten

Today I got up hoping to do a lot of miles to make up for yesterday and because I am running really low on food. So low that I am on starvation rations. That means 1 candy bar for breakfast, handful of granola for each snack, half a bowl of cold bland instant mashed potatoes for lunch and a bag of noodles for dinner. But when you burn 6000-8000 calories a day that diet isn't one that is going to sustain your energy. I put in quite a few miles walking on ridges where there were sure to be great views but it was both foggy and smokey all day that I didn't see anything. The real problem with my food situation is that my stove is out of fuel and I cannot cook any more noodles. This all changed when I got to the tungsten cabin. It is a giant renovated old mining cabin that you can stay in. I wasn't planning to stay in it but I am glad I checked it out. There was a box where people left things they didn't need. In it I found 3 packets of idahoan mashed potatoes. They are not amazing but they don't require cooking so they fit my situation. I left 3 bags of noodles to keep food there for those that need it. I ended up putting in a few more miles and finished with somewhere in the mid thirties. Tomorrow I will see my first road in 8 days and 200 miles. Time goes by quick.
