im on the water at 7:30 to a heavy fog and slowing begin picking my way down LLC with the goal of reaching crooked today. ill finally get to see curtain falls...and i did. id love to see it during high water too.

i take an island site just east of the falls...a really nice one too.

there is a really nice pile of split wood here, too bad i wont be burning it tonight. its too dry in the forest and the winds are too high.

its a relaxing evening. all my gear is dry, camp is set, im just going to sit back and enjoy it.

some pics from the day...

this is the most pleasant evening ive experienced over that last 4 days, mentally and physically. im sure being on the way out has something to do with it.

a couple of brainfarts today. forgot about rebecca falls and blew past warrior hill without even noticing it. duh me.

right now im drinking some very special vodka given to me by a friend. its a wonderful gift, one that will be paid forward.

on this trip so far ive stayed at 5 star camps and 0.5 stars. as long as i could set up a tent i was happy.

im really starting to crave cheeseburgers and beer now. hahaha

ive been in the sleeping bag by 8pm every night and tonight will be no different.
