I overslept.  I woke up at 7 AM.  That all day hike up the mountain really exhausted me.  Scott and I broke camp and walked into Summerhaven.

I was ready for a big breakfast in town.  Nope.  Everything was closed until late morning.  That was frustrating, but no way was I going to wait.  I headed for the trail.

The trail was hard to follow in spots. There were boulders in the trail, too.  All that really slowed me down.  I wanted to reach the next water source about 13 miles south.

As the day went on, it became clear I would not reach my target.  Around 4 PM I started looking for a campsite.  I was hoping not to repeat a night hike like the day before.  At 5 PM, I found a campsite.  I’m low on water, but I should be okay until tomorrow.
