Two Oceans Plateau - Day Two

Lessons learned last night- 

• It is better to start off with all of your clothes on so you don't have to mess around finding them in the middle of the night
• I really need I bring ear plugs, no matter what
• Two melatonin are better than one

After a leisurely breakfast, we set off into the cold morning. It was a half mile back to the main trail and we were on our way. 

It was all hunky-dory until about 3 miles out from the next campsite (4.5ish into the hike), it started raining. And then hailing. Like, pea-sized hail. It sucked... HARD. 

We all got our rain gear on and kept slogging, but it was now very cold and we were happy to get to 6A4. It stopped raining long enough for Matt to do some fishing and for Heidi, Trudy, and I to walk along the beach.

It's a great campsite. Right on Lake Yellowstone with a bear box so you don't have to put your food on a bear pole. Unfortunately, it did start raining again, stopping long enough for us to get dinner but then it was right into the tents and off to dreamland.

I had enough bars to text my dad and update him on probable arrival home (yeah... Trudy and I hike slow. Slower than I thought), to post a picture to Facebook, and to download a book. Of course, the last being the most important.
