Bus to trailhead with Sun, NoEnglish, and Brad. 

Eleven fast miles with VERY heavy pack to Six Mile Camp. 

Dinner

Bear hang. First one broke the rope. Three hikers food too much weight. Enough rope for two bear hangs!

Brad came in late with a bear sighting a mile away. 

Oh Boy! 

Brad and NoEnglish. Brads super fast covering up to 40 miles per day. Average is 24.
