| partners | | So my hike idea. Cabin Loop. We started at FR 139 Barbershop TH. Ccw, destination was Aspen Springs. I thought it would be 12-13 miles. And relatively flat. 14.3 miles later, 2600 ft ele gain, we arrive. Mind you, im carrying 23 lbs and Don is 30. Longest backpack day we've done thus far. 70% of hike was up then down then up then down. We were pretty tired. Set up camp, collected firewood, ate dinner, sat w fire, and out at 8:00 pm. I woke up at 1:00 am to a... Noise. Then another. I was positive either animal was in our food that was hung 30 feet away or simply heading towards tent. I wake up Don... And he agrees. We sat motionless for about 5 mins... Then heard snapping tree limbs. We concluded it was Elk. So, we just cautiously fell back asleep. Next morning sure enuf, fresh Elk poop about 20 feet from tent. What do you do? Can't see crap out of tent, it's completely pitch black. Nerve wrecking to say the least. Next day was only 4 miles hike out, which was nice. Saw 7 people total.
Just me and my soulmate... Once again. ♥ |
