6am comes all to soon. Isaac and I are up quickly to finish packing our things, snag a cup of coffee, and meet Debbie outside. A fellow hiker is already there, and he’s going to share our ride back to the trail.

Between pretty chilly temperatures and a deflated pillow, I spent a restless night (not uncommon for me). Luckily Isaac slept soundly all night long, so that’s something. 😊
