Spring (1,232.1) to Bear Creek (1,254)
Miles today - 21.9
We were out of camp at 5:40 this morning and had 19 miles done before noon. The trail is soft here with few rocks, so it's perfect for making fast miles. Plus it was mostly downhill today. We descended 2,000 feet to the Feather River where there was a nice swimming hole. The water was too cold for me to swim (others did), but it did make for a good lunch spot.
We only went a few miles after lunch and decided to stop when we found a campsite near a creek that was too good to pass up. Another easy day.
I've been hiking with Bronco, Macho Taco, and Fairway for most of the last 1,000 miles. You better like the people you're hiking with, because you spend a lot of time with them. It's kind of like working (hiking) AND living (camping) together. Needless to say we've gotten to know each other pretty well.
