Woke up to thick frost on my tent. It made it very difficult to start hiking. When it’s that cold, the feeling of sun is amazing, when it finally hits.
The route lead us through Bullrush Wash. It was surprisingly a very cool canyon. The walls rose up high on both sides of us and the sun hit patches of the red sandstone. Adams spring was flowing greatly, and for the first time in awhile, the water had a great taste to it.
Once in Park Wash we were in deep sand. It is d=rt's least favorite kind of hiking. The sand slows us down easily to 2/3 of our normal pace. The wash took us to a good road though, and we made good time once again.
We decided to camp about 3 miles from the road to Kanab. Thought about going in tonight, but we have already spent way too much time in town. The weather is nice and it feels great to be camping. We will make it to town tomorrow for all 3 meals, and be back on the trail Thursday. These miles were easy, with a late start and a siesta, we still made 23 miles. Good day.
