Backpacking Basics: the Trail Toilet
Before leaving the Lake in the Clouds sites we came across only what we could assume was the last civilized toilet of our journey. Sadly that proved to be true cuz it was cat holes from here on out. Here’s a little insider knowledge though

Day One: our one-shot Day Adventure
Had a really easy day today,when all was said and done we ended up doing like 10 miles. Since we explored the ridge and peaks by LAKE OF THE CLOUDS, we left our backpacks at the car in the overlook parking lot. After completing about 90% of our mileage for the day we got our packs and proceeded to descend into the lake below. We scouted the area for the best site prior (which was nice) so wr just set up camp off the beaten path. Twas nice. Perfect night outside. Perfect day. Nice little warmup and intro for our bodies as well. After setting up camp and exploring we got firewood and just chilled until midnight. No cell signal so I couldn’t call my daughter :-(
