July 16, 2007: I Didn't Know How to Pack Lightly

Monday, July 16, 2007

​I got up at 4:30 today. The crew met at 6:00. Nobody had enough sleep. We were running late. We all were in bad moods or stressed. 

I carried 50 pounds on the 3+ mile hike to our camp. It was way too much. I have to cut down somehow. The area is pretty: rocky canyon walls, trees, a lake, river and falls, burned trees with new growth. We started trail work 1.5 miles from camp. 

We saw a golden-bellied marmot.
