7:00: We got an early start this morning. I woke up way before dawn and got up just as the sun was peeking over the mountains. There is some early cloud cover so drying out the tent will take a little longer than hoped for.
As is typical it's prettier here in the morning. Interestingly the water level has gone up probably 6 inches or so since we first came in. Time to pack.
16:00: Packing, hiking and driving were all uneventful, though I wish I had a way to get to food on the trail. I slept about the same last night, waking up maybe a few less times. I put my fleece under my sleeping pad to give more height to my pillow, which worked out okay.
I picked out a quartz rock for Jenny as all the rocks were just granite. I didn't find it in my pack, though, so I hope it's still in my car.
Now I'm home and clean and well rested. So ends my first trip of the year.
