Life lessons of the day
- I don't care how many days or how much it weighs, clean underwear for each morning is a must. I don't mind doubling up on days to save some room in the pack, but bringing fewer pairs as suggested by my friends was not worth it.
- Don't eat so many M&MS. Even if they are damn good.
A leisurely morning was a nice start to the day. We only had 8 miles to go so we didn't try to start too darn early. And after a harrowing, steep downhill, we made it to Fox Creek Patrol Cabin at about 12:30. It was ridiculous. We were kicking some butt and taking names. Which was a good thing because this was the day that we picked up more food. And not only was it extra food for the five of us, there was the food for the two people who had dropped out early last week as well. We stopped and had a little smorgasbord. Or a big smorgasbord. I mean, look, it's just a TON of food. A TON!
The bottle had some Firefly so we were able to toast being over halfway through the days of the trip (mileage, almost). It was such a wonderful and relaxing day and a perfect way to prep for the monster that was Day Six.
Leftover beef stroganoff for breakfast. Still good after being mixed last night but I miss having a really warm belly.
Lunch- got to the cabin early and gorged on the food that had been left for us.
Dinner-Louisiana Red beans and rice from Backcountry Pantry. Spicy

I don't have to dig a hole? Thank you, Baby Jesus! |
A toast to us! |
