I started the day off watching the sun rise over the mountains while I ate my oatmeal and drank my tea. It turned the sky shades of pink. I was met by fantastic views of Mt Shasta in the morning light on my descent from the ridge. It was a beautiful morning. I saw a lot of wildlife today. They don't see or hear me coming till I'm right there and then we all jump. Last night it was a deer. Today it was a bear, a deer, & a snake. I didn't get a good look at the bear. It was brown, round, & fuzzy and went crashing down the mountain side as fast as it could go. So I started talking loudly as I walked. First to myself, then to the trail, then to any animals out there. "Human coming through." I keep catching up to Chris. He's a very fast hiker but his feet are hurting real bad. He needs new shoes. Hiking on through the woods its still a jungle but improving. There was a lot of water and I got to soak my feet in cold water. Aahh... I'm pitching camp early again. It's only 530 but I already hiked a lot of miles today and don't need to do more. I feel funny wasting daylight though. Rest is good.
