Other than getting stung for the second time in 2 days, today was easy and relaxing. I hiked with Rockhound, Einstein and Condor for 15 miles. We climbed one mountain, had a long, luxurious lunch and still showed up at the shelter at 5:30.

There was a lot of eating time today. Breakfast in my tent, a 2-hour lunch, a 1,000 calorie dinner and I am reading and snacking at 8:30. Trying to store up enough energy for the whites.

Rockhound and I meet up with my longtime family friends Cy & Gail Kendrick tomorrow and I am looking forward to the company. Then 2 more days until I get see Heather again!
