The sun goes down at nearly-empty Mid Hills campground and I meet my new neighbors, Heather and Sarah

Supper is high-calorie Mountain House Rice and Chicken, a comforting end to a strenuous day.

I meet Sarah and Heather while over at the water tap and we chat for a while; great people. I look forward to hanging out with them tomorrow on "my day off."

It's cold and windy tonight, possibly the coldest night so far on this trip, so I wear all my clothes in my sleeping bag: sweater, outer shell long underwear, plus two pairs of socks. Brrr! But I'm quite tired from today's excursion and fall asleep easily around midnight.
