Between Sitajaure and Saltoloukta we saw the first reindeer. Luckily the dogs didn’t see them and the wind
blew in the right direction.
The trail down to Saltoloukta was quite steep so we were very glad that there was some newly fallen snow in the trail.
I wonder, has anyone gone sledging on sand from Shara? It might be hard to see, but the snow is striped brown by the Sahara sand which came
falling down in the mountain brought by the storm wind during the night.
In Abisko we missed the right way to STF-hostel and therefor we had to cross the railway and
lots of roads which took us a while. Fortunately someone told us that we could go under the big
road so at least we didn’t need to cross that.
It felt as Torne Träsk was never
ending, and the trail beeing wet and
heavy didn’t make it any better.
The dogs seemed to enjoy sleeping on the
bare ground. They even found some berries (from last autumn)
which they ate.
Monday 18/4
Mixed feelings – the finish is reached at last! A bit sad that the great adventure soon will be over but happy that all went so well. (In the
back ground to the right one can see a bit of the yellow Treriks-stone)
