My friend Jennifer has been camping with me since the 18th. She is quite adventurous and we've done some rather impressive exploring in the BF zones. The river is freezing, but it has served us well after a few miles of hiking and scrambling up and down the river rocks. Looking for Bigfoot, I have come to find, is difficult work. I'm getting my ass kicked a little by the physical exertion but it feels good.

We hiked a few miles on a trail that runs on the ridge parallel to the river. We descended to the river and relaxed on the rocky beach for awhile, then became intrigued by a small creek opposite us, which dumped itself into our lovely yet icy waterway. We scrambled across rocks to get to the creek, and followed it (forging small rapids) until we reached a small clearing. It was stunning. Quiet, calm, green. Excellent BF vibes. Note to self: perfect spot to plant apples or other BF goods. We stayed for a bit and scrambled more rocks, and then returned to the site when our granola bars wore off and we were dying of hunger.

We saw two small water snakes, which brings our count up to four snakes in two days.
