Woke up at 0530 pretty damn cold. And SORE. Took a piss outside then came back in and started a roaring, LOUD fire in the fireplace, then went back to bed and sort of slept 'til 7. Phil was up at 7, so I got up, too, as it was light by then.

Had a couple Clifs and some tea and by 8 we were packed up and bidding adieu to our thru hiker guys.

We hiked 0.5 of diamond'd ski trail to the Maiden Peak climber, where we stashed our main packs at the junction. About an hour climb up (+/-) but it was WORTH IT. See FB for pics. THE best scenery per unit effort, for sure! Sunny but brisk and breezy on top.

The blisters were rough on the uphill but hardly noticeable on the down. Paid CLOSE MIND to knee control going down, and the L knee wasn't bad.

Got back to the truck around 1200, changed and threw the disc around at Gold Lake before heading into Oakridge for a beer, then home.

Nice little overnight! Took a quasi nap, but it didn't really take.

ZERO today. It's nice, but I did 70 on 6 last week, so that's fine.

Got in probably 7-8 miles hiking today. Back's a little sore...
