Day 7: Rest Day!






We woke up in an ant hill, I mean HELL, and decided to try another spot for our rest day. After all, stamping our feet while standing in place and swatting at our ankles did not exactly seem appropriate for a rest day. Wesley and Dave scouted out another camping spot while I lounged around on the picnic table, doing crossword puzzles and catching up on phone calls.

It turned out there was a great spot just up the hill, so we packed up and made the switch.
We spent the day lounging around and jumping in the freezing cold stream a couple times. Wes was feeling sick most of the afternoon from overdosing on apple juice, and Alpine and I recharged our systems with fresh fruit.
