We've been taking turns with who navigates out here. Gofar had a great idea for a shortcut along a forest road to avoid some steep sketchy wooded traversing. The roadwalk was a quick downhill to a ranger cabin, unfortunately I think we lost time to the bushwhack all the way back up to a wooded ridge. We also didn't realize that there wasn't a water source anywhere close to where we reconnected with the trail. Luckily we found a stream while scanning downhill from where the trail was.

We camped at the very last spot we could that wasn't above the tree line. We camped where we could, in the trail, which also happened to be the first spot with cell reception (also known as "G's") in days.
