Though our zero at the Colonel's was amazing, we needed to sleep in to recover from it.
The rocks have yet to subside and the weather is finally beginning to act like Summer. Unfortunately in the times when we want to drink a lot of water, many of the sources are gross with tannins and the sulfurous smell of muddy decaying leaf piles. Or they might be outlets of moss covered beaver ponds. Yuck. We went 17 miles in order to sleep by a nice spring, and the the water was fantastic, we descended the trail to the shelter into a pit of mosquitoes, and for some reason there were about 20 14 year olds too. So we watered up and got the hell back up to the ridgeline.
