Day 37-Liz 384-395.3

I would prefer to forget this day. It started out fine but then we got off our trail and was climbing over rocks for awhile before I mentioned it was getting awfully dangerous. Sure enough we were off our trail and I had to bushwhack with the gps to try and find it. We wasted a lot of energy.

Up until this day we were never off trail, and proud of it. Unfortunately our woes didn't end there. Because of an endangered frog species there's a detour we have to take. There's the old detour, new detour, or closed trail. We opted for the old detour, sounded simple enough to follow. If you track us you saw us take one trail about 1/2 mile before we realized we were on the closed portion, a big no-no and a large fine. We hiked back to the junction and tried the other trail, with Mandy and Steve, for about two miles before we realized AGAIN we were on the wrong trail. We had to hike back and find the correct junction to start the detour. By then we were so tired we  camped at Cooper Cyn campground. We did have a very nice campfire and traded stories with Mandy and Steve. I got them to cowboy camp for the first time. Way to go Brits!
