Day 34 (September 19)

The Dr Pepper stove is cooking up our morning oatmeal -- look at it go! And just in case the HEET runs out, Ron and Don donate a little fuel canister for the gas stove, plus a few choice foods. Thanks, guys!

We brave the rain and head south once again. We're leaving the wilderness now, descending from the high mountains through scrubby forests and fields of sage. This is mostly BLM land, which is used for grazing, and the trail crosses several fenced-in areas. It's still pretty wild though -- the only things we see grazing are deer.
