It was another night with a lot of condensation. At one point during the night I could tell even my bag was getting wet again, but then some wind picked up and I think helped dry things slightly. That didn\u2019t matter too much though since I was headed to town today where I could get everything dry easily.<\/p>

I set off at a good pace, with town drawing me in. I hadn\u2019t gotten a shower or done laundry in more than a week, and I needed a good town stop.<\/p>

The trail followed the Gila River, but kept its distance, winding through the hills next to the river. It never really directly approached the river, so it wasn\u2019t actually like it was following a major waterway. I had filtered enough water at camp to get me to town, so it didn\u2019t matter that I didn\u2019t actually get to the river as I crossed dry wash after dry wash.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
