sabbath day pond shelter

17.0 miles, 1948.9 total.
back on the trail at 9:30 after a crazy bumpy 9 mile shuttle ride.
started with a huge climb up Big Blue - 1400 to 3600 over 3 miles. also had several streams to ford, but they were surprisingly low. the terrain is not too bad. also passed several lakes/ponds today. a bit muddy and wet, but the giant rocks are almost completely gone.
I decided to stick with the Amigos because they keep a good pace and take breaks like I do; a couple small stops and a lunch stop.
got here around 5. we ca already here loons and owls making noises, and there are two giant rabbits running through our campsite chasing each other around. I'll probably be tenting the rest of the way, even in rain, because the mosquitos are getting to be really bad.

later,
L
