To West Yellowstone Day 2: wet feet morning, long ascent/descent afternoon

I’m starting at mile 862.2. Ending at 889.2. I went 27 miles. 

I didn’t get into camp until 8. So I don’t have a lot to say. 

I probably saw 30 NOBOs and no SOBOs. 

There was a 17 mile stretch without water that had a long climb and descent between me and it. Some of the trail had been rerouted but without tread on either the old or new trail I got a little lost and wandered around a bit. 

My campsite was the first possible thing I could find and therefore it was windy and bad.
