In the last photo above, Carmen is clipping salal branches. Paul and I had made the hike last year and planned to return to do some work on the trail.

So well-camouflaged!

June 15 –

to Yellow Bluff and back; about 8 hours of hiking; 13 k

12k and 7 hours to a little bay just past Sandpiper Creek (where we had camped on the 13th)

The morning movement

It’s proper etiquette to dig a pit and void one’s bowels below the high tide line, burn the toilet paper, and fill in the hole.

As long as we were moving it wasn’t cold

Oops! I got wet feet on that one!

We set up camp at the little bay just past Sandpiper Creek where we had camped the first night. We had to pack our water in to this beach, but it had a lot better sheltered campsites than the other one. After our meal I went for a wander.

We started out at 9:30, with a light rain. And cold at times when the wind caught us.

Fine facilities at Rugged Point
