It's really cold this morning...temperature dropped into the 30's again last night...but at least it's not raining. I've planned a nice hike for today...drive down to Biscuit Basin and pick up the trailhead to Fairy Falls...four miles in/four miles out...and a nice view of the Falls.
I load my pack as follows...
Bear Spray
Bear Bell
10 Cliff Bars (energy/snack)
2 packages Cliff "Shot Blocks" (electrolyte replacement/energy)
5 packages Peanut Butter Crackers
2 Hershey Bars with Almonds
2 packages Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Emergency Blanket
2 packages "Gourmet" Ramen Noodles
Titanium Pot/Cup
"Pocket Rocket" Stove and 2 canisters iso-butane fuel
Spork
Digital Camera
35mm. Camera and film
4 Bottles of Water
Swiss Army Knife
Insect Repellent
Sunscreen
By 10:00AM, I'm at the trailhead and ready to go. But I'm having difficulty finding the Fairy Falls Trail, and soon find myself on the trail to Mystic Falls...which I hiked last year. It's a nice hike, so I settle for that. Arriving at the Falls, I cook up some noodles for lunch, snap a few photos and hike out.
Back at my campsite, I relax with a few Margaritas and grilled Bratwurst for dinner.
