We didn’t sleep too much on the ridge last night as both of our sleeping pads and the threat of bears in the area made it hard to stay asleep.
Every tree branch that cracked or rustling squirrel was a potential bear and had us uneasy.
We hiked further away from Baden Powell today and lost elevation before working once again to gain it for another mount, Mt Williamson. We did not spend the extra time to go to the top as it was overcast and would have had limited views.
We are both feeling tired from yesterday and the lack of sleep so we took the first several miles slow and even stoped to address the holes in our sleeping pads which we hope we repaired.
After lunch we road walked for 3 miles because the PCT has been closed in the section for a few years due to an endangered yellow tree frog. The detour takes us through a wonderful campground with running water and fire pits.
We both agreed to take a half-day and regroup and I’m preparing to build a fire and get real sleep tonight.
