When the sun rose, we were happy to see our friend John approach and we hung out on the picnic tables until the outfitter opened up. I spent way too much money on warmer gear and dry sacks. We were exhausted Popsicles and chose to opt for one more night in town so I could tend to my blister again and let it air out. We had McDonald's and Longhorn Steakhouse for dinner. We slept for many hours and definitely needed it! We were happy to get out of the rain, hail, and snow for the night!
