Mad dash this morning was rough. Got out before 4 but still felt like I was running behind. Was insanely stressful but we all made it the 11 miles to abol at about 8. When we got to the kiosk we found out that only 4 of the 12 spots had been claimed so we were in the clear. We had passed a family of 4 earlier who was screwed at this point. We saw them walking to some site in the sticks later. Feels bad, but it is a crappy system.
Sat at the camp store for a while and ate and talked. The stretch to birches was supposed to be easy so we were not in a rush.
Took the shorter blueberry ridge trail to the birches, checked in with the ranger and we just sat around and talked more. Lots of mixed emotions. Nobos very much ready to be done but sad to see it end. Flip floppers sad to see the group breaking up, but I’m sure they will be fine and will do well in the south.
Wish we could stay up later but we are all very dead tired. Tomorrow will be a difficult day.
