Today was much easier, and the miles just flew by. There were no
major climbs or descents. It was also the day of trail magic. After
not having any water for the first 6 miles, I ran into 2 other guys
that were waiting to join the 4 section hikers from last night. They
had beers and snacks for us. Then after continuing on down to Laurel
Creek, there was a cooler with Propel water in it.
I decided to stay by the creek along with Mellow Yellow, Utah, and
probably Cookie Monster (if he ever shows up). The creek has a nice
rock bed with small waterfalls. Unfortunately today was the coldest
it has been in a while and not really swimming weather.
I really need to quit slacking and do a longer day tomorrow.
