We left Alex's birthday last night and went home to pack. Unfortunately we were already tired and easily distracted so we didn't finish until nearly midnight giving us only an hour to sleep before we had to leave.
Cliff and Bert split the driving (thank you, gentlemen) and we got to sawmill flat only to discover that once again, it was snowed over forcing us to drive to our newest parking location. Bad news this year is that we had to park even further away, but it didn't seem to matter much since it really wasn't that far in the grand scheme of things.

| I was sleeping too |
Never to take life too seriously the three of us spent some time after the river crossing posing for the camera.The hike went pretty easy (until I got stuck in the snow and sprained my ankle-then the hike was a bit painful) but we were so exhausted we ended up taking a few mini naps during a few of our rest stops.
Quite the exciting hike down this trip. We passed ridiculous amounts of bear poo on the trail and also came across a full mule skeleton. On top of the granite face we came across 2 hiking boots, boxers, jean jackact and wind breaker, a shirt, a belt buckle, and a pair of pants with a car keys and a pile of decaying papers in it. From the paper we were able to make out an insurance card and some money (no longer spendable). Kind of freaky so we kept the insurance card to find out more about it later.
The rest of the way down went smoothly although we did get to camp later than we hoped simply because of how long it took us to hike. Not too late for Cliff to catch our first fish of the trip, though!
