We didn’t make it very far today, but it was in general a good day. The sky was blue, the greens were vibrant, and group was vibing, laughing and generally having a good time.
Stopped for lunch around 1 pm and only hiked a few more miles afterwards. By 3 pm we were at a spot next to Reed Creek and it seemed like a great place to stop for the night.
We crossed the 1/4 marker, another milestone that shows we’re making progress. On one hand, I don’t feel like I’ve been out here long enough to be a quarter of the way through. On the other hand, I don’t feel like I’m making as much progress as I should be at this point.
It was a low key evening, but I did find a gentle intruder scoping out camp after we put the fires out.
