20 miles
The wind was fighting the tent last night, but the tent held up. In the morning, we climbed up to a view of the silhouetted mountains across the way. Eventually we dropped down to Lemah Creek, which we crossed on a log. Up and up to a pond. We all got in for a quick swim and then air-dried while we ate. The afternoon was easy coming down to Waptus River. This is where I found out I had COVID in ’21. Thankfully, I’m healthy this time. We met a set of twin sisters at lunch. A gentleman from Minnesota welcomed us to take one of the campspots near his hammock. We were kind of forced to accept because we couldn’t get a stake in the thin layer of dirt on the rock slab where the other spots were. He joined us while we ate dinner and we all had a nice conversation.
