Daily Log: Day 25

25 2084.2 7/9/2021 sunny, breezy. On trail about 5:25 am. Doing it as a slack-pack. No big climbs but many smaller ones. After lunch I got off trail while listening to an audio book. Missed a turn. Must have gone over a mile off so walked it back. Probably lost over an hour. Made me get done around 3:30 pm. Gotta watch better for Trail junctions. Ugh! Justin made brats for dinner. Yum. We think a forest fire started on the other side of the hill where we are camping. Big white puffy clouds erupting there. Justin is going to keep an eye in it. I can smell the smoke.

There’s a stream crossing coming up soon
Smoke near our trailhead billowing up and the wind is blowing it to the right. We were very watchful, but no flames appeared
