We left the summit at 1:50.
We got dark clouds, thunder, and hail at the top. It did encourage us to move along.
We hiked out at dusk.
Even Adrian was getting tired – he said they must have redone the trail since we went up it, because he knew it hadn’t been this long in the morning!

We dragged ourselves back to the camp. As we drove into the campground, we saw a huge back bear running down the road. We made a quick dinner, and crawled into our tents. I didn’t sleep very well, since my legs ached, and I stank — I didn’t want to be in the same tent as me!
