This morning we woke up to cold
rain which made packing up and breaking camp pretty miserable. Shortly after breakfast we hit trail for
about a 5 mile hike to our first destination.
The trail turned upward and as we gained altitude the rain turned to
snow, which I was happy for. Justin
and Drew kept the pace slow so that everyone would stay together and to gauge
fitness levels. The pace made for a good
way to wake the body up from the previous long day of travel.
Our camp is
in a little valley, the low cloud ceiling is hiding the mountains from our
view. With it being late September in
the mountains most of us are not used to the cold, it has been below freezing
most of the day. My nice and warm down
sleeping bag is calling my name.
