May 6: Footprints

Mike provided a nice warm bowl of oatmeal to get us started for the day. This is especially a treat for us since we are not cooking any of our food.

We only saw a few other hikers all day.

Had a quarter mile side hike to get some water out of a large cement fire storage container. A valve allowed it to flow out looking clear and cool.

Windy and cool in the early evening. The desert can be very windy! And this helps contribute to it feeling quite cold at times. Actually very cold at times. No nights below freezing yet, but they will come.

Just before making camp we came across another couple whose tracks we had been following. I've learned many other hikers footprints and can tell who is in front of me. It is funny to know someones footprint before you actually meet them.

Made camp pitching our tarp as clouds started rolling in at dusk.

Total Milage: 147.7
Today's Milage: 20.6
