Lessons Learned
- If the sleeping bag is meant to have a top and bottom, use them as such. It's warmer-- even if you do prefer to sleep with a flap over your head rather than the regular mummy sleeping bag "hood".
- A warm water bottle, filled with boiling water and wrapped in a sock is heaven on a cold night. (Though it may have helped to have two sleepless nights and a longer hike that day.)

| I even "bathed" in the creek |
The hiking crew got up early to go out and help Heidi collect flowers (please note, she is the park botanist so it's okay. Normal peoples-it is illegal for visitors to collect anything, antlers, flowers, and rocks included.)
Trudy and I hung around camp. We gathered firewood, washed our clothes in the creek, and read our books. It was a mellow and lovely day.
Had the Backpacker's Pantry granola with blueberries for breakfast. I used the cold water (you can also use hot) and it was very good.
Lunch was finishing up the Lasagna and dinner was Mountain House beef stroganoff. Also delicious.
