AT 40 - 5th May (444.5)

Look hard

 Hot day. Found a sign on a tree this morning saying don’t camp near dam, since there is heightened bear activity!!!!! 

I might still have camped even if I read it?!?!

Ran out of water but spring was not too far. Two groups of 5 plus thru hikers at Iron mountain shelter. I hope they don’t stay up too late. Lighting fire later for marshmallows. 

Equipment spot

Sleeping equipment 

Blowup matrice. A bit squeeky. 

I use a down quilt. 

When cold a sleeping bag liner

When really cold I wear down fluffy jacket. 

I use warm pj’s at the moment and wool socks. Later I’ll reduce this layer.
