Day 3 - Tuesday, August 8

This was our campsite on Day 3 (#21). I am taking the photo from just in front of the outhouse which was at the top of a very steep and slippery trail--you had to be very careful not to slip--especially coming down. The tent pads were all very close and very sandy. It is lightly raining when we arrive so we set our tents up quickly and stow our gear under the rainfly. Cheryl and Merlin finally have the opportunity to use the HUGE tarp Susan and I have been hauling every day. This thing is 30' X 40' and they have a special pole to get the ropes up high enough on the trees. It is nice though to have somewhere to go to get out of the rain, and we do all our "camp" stuff under the tarp--cooking, eating, yakking around the fire. You can see the green metal bear-proof food cache's just to the left of center. We store anything that might have a smell in these sturdy containers as bears can supposedly smell food through a sealed can.
