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.
