It got cold last night, low 20s probably. It was also humid and we were in a valley that trapped the cold air and moisture, so that made it feel colder. I was warm enough in my bag without my insulating layers, but I still couldn\u2019t sleep most of the night; probably because I slept well last night. Can\u2019t have 2 in a row.<\/p>

Breaks and I timed our packing so we were ready at the same time. I threw my puffy in my pack at the last minute and we took off. There was first a slight uphill which was nice to get us moving and warm. The trail wound through more pine forest. We lost it a couple times early today; once in a recent logging area with the trail obliterated and no flagging, and another time when we must have walked too far down a dirt road past a trail turnoff. We used our GPS to get back on track both times.<\/p>

A few miles in, Breaks ducked off trail to go down to Mormon Lake to resupply. She thought it would only take an hour round trip, but we decided to meet further down the trail since I didn\u2019t want to wait with it still being cold and there no much chance of drying my frozen tent with the sun still low.<\/p>

I got water at a spring which was iced over. It took some effort and hitting the ice with a big stick to get it to crack. There was about \u00be inches of ice on the water which was surprising. I wasn\u2019t expecting so much. I grabbed some ice water and continued down the trail.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
