Nice easy day (well as easy as it gets on trail, still hard!)

The temperature was -3° when I woke, so it took some effort to get up. Cold fingers for quite a bit.

It’s the usual thing of begging the sun to come up to warm me up, only to beg it to go away later in the day! Got up to maybe 24° so a modest swing of 27°!

Lunch, however, was at the Kentucky Lodge, an old building originally built for the gold mining push in this area. Made a great place to break, and it had water, somewhere to charge and a pit toilet.
