It was cold at night. Not the coldest it has ever been so far, but cold enough. My sleep was as usual - not sound - but I’m used to it by now. When the alarm went off at 5:00 I was relieved to finally start my final day of hiking.

What a long day it was.

Wow, last night was cold! I ended up sleeping with two pairs of socks, and my hiking pants over my long johns. And my tent’s inside was all covered in frost in the morning.

We got up after a warm night, and went to the store to wait for the bus back to the trail. A few other hikers were around, getting breakfast at the restaurant. And I finally met Use It Up, who was also heading out to the trail with us. The others will probably leave later.

It is always nice to hear the rain drops on my tent, while I am cozy and warm inside. It wasn’t even much of a rain, and there were no winds where we were.
