Steve mentioned at breakfast that he would be more inclined to drive to the other end rather than try to find the trail and clamber over dead fall. We might get the same number of miles im but it would be more like 1.3 to get put and then 5.5 with our backpacks on versus the 11.1. Then we could day hike and explore the plateau in more comfort.
However. The path was hot. H. O. T. And when we got to the campsite, there was a dark cloud and eventually thunder. So we all got in our tents and hung out for a couple of hours. It was actually quite lovely. Then we did get up on the plateau. It was basically low key bushwhacking which is not a favorite of mine. Then back to camp for dinner and popping into the tent because, even with the breezes and fewer trees, the mosquitoes weren't pleasant
