CS2484 to CS2509 – 9-12

It had been a cold night last night. Even though there was no condensation, I still woke up from the cold.

We had plenty of frost this morning.

It's looking like this could be a regular thing

But, by midmorning, the sun shining through the clear sky had turned the frost to iridescent droplets of dew.

Though it remained cold — it was another day when I wore gloves all day — the clear skies held out, which meant no rain and clear views.

Note how I'm not cringing from the weather

This ridge blocked our way for many miles -- it was a long walk around

On the way around the ridge, we passed the 2500-mile point

As it got late, we descended into a forested valley, which made the area especially dark late in the day. The only campsite in the area was quite busy, so we went a bit past it to an exposed, rocky patch. We had more light than the people in the forested campsite, but the temperature might drop quite a bit out here tonight. We’ll see how it goes.
