I'm sitting under a tree resting in its shade. We got here at noon and I promptly fell asleep. The plan is to hike again at 4 the final 13 miles to the spring. We should get there at ten tonight so there won't be time to blog. This section is turning into the hottest, dryest section I've experienced so far. It was funny this 'morning', Easy Miles woke me up "Black Hawk, its 430, time to get up." I'm all groggy and disoriented, and its dark out but ok. As I'm searching for my glasses and crawling out of my sleeping bag, he comes back over, "Black Hawk, go back to sleep, I looked at my watch wrong and its only 1230." Ha ha ha Then we both overslept and got going later than we wanted. But its all working out. The trail has been mostly level and downhill so my leg has been doing ok. Sore but not too painful. It's the uphill that puts a strain on it. So I'm thankful for the reprieve. Oh, also this morning around 6, a beautiful skunk with big fluffy tail came ambling down the trail towards us. When he registered our presence he stopped, looked at us for a bit, then turned around and scampered off. He really did have a beautiful coat and was rather cute.
