Cold this morning, not freezing but close and there was some wind. It was a cool hiking day but that is not bad. The sky was so blue it was like Tibet. Cold tonight again, 37 in the valley. Will not be back in the 40s for a low until Wed. and the it will rain.
Hiked along a ridge then dropped down about 1000+ ft to Clark Valley and Clark Creek, a trout stream. Had a late lunch by the stream amid rhododendron and under hemlocks. Then we had a 3 mile hike back up the opposite side of the valley.
On the way up we met "The Gentleman", the fourth of the speed hikers. He is British, tall, and lean. He left on Feb. 16. Also a nice Guy.
Got to the top exhausted. Hiked until we found a campsite. Will probably pass the shelter again tomorrow. The shelters are far apart and awkwardly spaced so we may sleep in the tent a lot.
