Monday 6/23

Up at 5:30
Breakfast @ 6:20
Breakfast was good unlike the paltry portions we got at dinner last night. Nicole Phillips, our ranger says she is related to Waite Phillips. She says her family can use this facility for free. He was her great uncle. About a half an hour bus ride to 6 mile gate. I thought the camp should be left, but when we oriented our map with 10 degree declination it was clear our camp was on our right. My son keeps saying he doesn't like it here. I've asked him to keep this to himself. Today we hiked about 2 miles. It felt like 5. We hiked to Anastasi camp site. One camp site is a MILE LONG! So when we thought we were done, we had to go half again as far as we had already come just to get to site #8 which it turns out was taken. We are now at site 5. Everybody is in good spirits and singing silly songs after a lunch of Ritz Crackers ans Squeeze Cheese we all felt much better. Here comes the rain! Loud too!
