Day 69

The plan this morning was to go about 28 miles, but we happened across a  campsite that was too good to pass up. After coming down to only 3,000 feet above sea level we were in a canyon formed by the Feather River. As we crossed the bridge high above the water we could see rapids upstream but a large pool downstream with hikers swimming. We stopped here and swam for an hour before getting a big campfire going to warm up and dry clothes. There was a grate by the fire ring do Ultralight grilled some of his salami for us and I made quesadillas. Tonight was definitely the best cuisine I've had on trail. Later, we were joined by Peter Pan, from Poland.
