Veteran's Outward Bound, Day Two

September 24th, 2013

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.
