Day - 8 Mile 94.84 to 110.71 Mel

April 21

Liz and I can pick the windiest places to camp. And last night was the worst. It howled all night and I thought it might blow my backpack away. There was also a heavy fog this morning, so the sleeping bags were nice and damp. 

We waited until 8am hoping that the wind would die or the fog would lift. Neither happened so we packed up as fast as we could and left. No breakfast this morning. 

It as nice hiking in the cooler temperature. Especially compared to the last couple of days. 

We started descending which as a nice change.  Hit mile 100 hundred today!
Had lunch at Barrel Springs. The fog started to lift as we left. Flatter terrain with just slight ups and downs.

We are just past  Warner Springs in a creek bed. Since we are a couple days behind schedule we spent dinner trying to figure out how to make our food last until Friday when we should arrive at Paradise Valley Cafe and our first resupply box.  And I'm out of coffee! Fortunately Liz will share. 

Heard coyotes in the distance just before sunset.
