We barely slept from all the elk sounds. So loud and constant the whole night. At one point, an elk got very close to our tents but stayed away a bit.

We got moving a bit later and passed by a good bit f day hikers before hitting the parking lot at another pass. Trail magic. And we got vortexes as it’s called when you don’t want to leave a spot.

A guy by the name of Mr. Ed served over five servings of food, beer, soda, hiker box, and even his own songs. He played them over his car speakers that had lyrics very appropriate to hiking. He said to search for his channel: MisterEdVentures Playlist: Thru Hiker Ballads and Trail Songs

It was a shorter day today as well. We stopped after just 15 miles. We did manage to see some mountain goats. For now, we’re set up, cowboy camping near a spring. Big day tomorrow.

Happy trails…
