Entry & Exit Point: Brant Lake (EP 52)
Number of Days: 6
Group Size: 2
Day 3 of 6
Day Two Woke up about 7 and convinced myself wet clothes and 1 shoe was good enough to solo back 2 lakes and pick up the gear, yep that only took me an hour to convince myself. Went back changed clothes at my pack on put on some blessed boots (I now love boots), hid the dry ice at the base of flying and back to camp. New plan rest this am do some scouting and hunt around Bat, if we get lucky then will go get the ice or we will get it on the way out. On the way back to camp stopped by the other two campsites to see the neighbors. They were well but all staying put for the day as we apparently all came the same way, Still no sign of the couple that went down to Craig, if that is you reading this let me know where you got out, I’m curious. Got CBS up and we had lunch weather was ok but supposed to turn, and turn it did, took a nap and woke up to sleet and snow with gusty wind. Apart from 1 scouting adventure to the north basically pinned in our tent, I say pinned but it was thankfully restful, and it was a better day CBS didn’t utter “This is…” until 11:30 and only did so a half dozen times.
