One or two others texted me, and might camp tonight Friday. But don’t know yet what time they will finish work for today. There is a possibility they can go2
Gotta get packed!

Raladd! Eagle Scout! Wow
Oyster, yes BigFoot could still be at Spencer Creek Bridge. I’ll be ready to share my 47 ounce mug of java ☕️with Sasquatch as long as he holds his pinky finger out and doesn’t slurp too much
Mooseman and PappyAmos I’ll see y’all in 2023!

With a total pack weight of 20# , there were lots of warm clothes, and a zero* set of quilts to keep me warm. Slept warm but started as usual with cold toes that warmed through the night. I saw no campers or hikers Friday and Saturday except for a about a dozen Boy Scouts and their dads and one mom, on trail close to Yates.

Fingers got cold packing my frost-ice covered tarp.
Must have had a brain freeze, as I noticed I’d forgotten to shake frost-ice off tarp before packing.
I promptly cured that by speaking foreign languages and stopping several times to warm my fingers.

Friday, I got to Yates around 400pm and got to Beech Camp just before sunset, got camp set up and water filtered just as it got dark. I was too saaarrrry to get wood for campfire.

It was good to camp again!

Aaaaaaiiiiggghhhtt!

A solo is right good for the soul. Plus all the boogers and haints in the woods love to spy on a solo camper. After your cheese and coffee.
