Started the day with Patrick’s delicious coffee, and Peter’s delicious sausage muffins. Yum! All made in the wild (without a microwave).

Hiked the canyon trail. This, really, was like going on up the road–as it continued to peter out. From gravel road to dirt road, to ATV track, and gradually becoming a single path through the trees up a narrow canyon along a small creek. Beautiful.


Saw no one. No traffic, no noise, no people, and only one small lizard. Made peace with the land.

Back at camp, Peter installed our new hammock. Jumped right in. And fell right out. Next attempt went well and served for an afternoon nap.
