It was nice to sleep in. Only needed to make 25 or so, which in today's terrain was pretty easy. Hiked with a couple of people today, Cheshire Cat and Scooter. The views toward the end of the day were really nice with awesome red rock and wildflowers everywhere. We pushed into the night a little (which was part of our plan with sleeping in and all). It seemed to go much slower this time and the trail went into some thick forest. We saw a pair of eyes slink around and when we got to where it had gone. We stopped and looked around. Nothing. Looked up. "What is that!?!" It looked like a monkey clinging to the tree. It turned out - I think - to be a kitten. In the middle of the mountains? I don't know. Then we started noticing big, huge toads everywhere. Crossing us on the trail. Clambering over bushes. Splashing in the water. Definately using a tent tonight! Don't want toads climbing on our faces. Now we're camped at the junction of the PCT and Bloody Run Trail. Creepy! The sign is dripping with sap that looks like blood. The spot's nice though. Wishing Etna was tomorrow, but another 25 mile day and we'll be close.
