Camped at 639.9
Five star view from camp - snow covered Mt Humphreys in full view, good sunset, excellent cloud show.
First pronghorn antelope of the trip.
More bear poop.
Really cold this morning. The socks hanging inside the tent were frozen solid, and my wet shoes under the fly were frozen solid. We both slept, but I think if it had been 5 degrees cooler it would have been a long night with little sleep.
Serious sticky mud for a couple hours this morning, after the ground thawed. We had descended to an altitude where there was little to no remaining snow, but the mud was a bit of a bother.
Easy walking in great weather. Thunder and rain and big black clouds were behind us and above and around the SF Peaks (of which Mt. Humphrey's is the dominant feature), but we were out of the mountains and just north of the rain.
Happy and healthy, excepting Jim has intermittent back pain that is unpleasant but not debilitating.
