Trip leader Derek reports:

“Had a doe walk through camp during breakfast; that was fun. Left last night’s camp this morning and just pulled into tonight’s camp [at about 2:45 p.m.]. 7.5-mile day – mostly downhill, more than 2,300 feet.

“Everyone is doing good. Saw Sasquatch today; he was fully clothed, thankfully. We are camped next to a big creek. We will definitely be skinny dipping soon.

“Big day tomorrow: 14+ miles. 2,300 feet up and 2,300 feet down. Will head to bed early.”
