Day 32: Mile 558 to 583

25 miles

Today the wind was still bad. We had a long climb up to a ridge where we planned to camp.

I bought a Barbie kite and we flew it in the wind when we got to the top of the climb.

After messing around for a while I realized that my cell phone was missing out of my pocket. I searched everywhere, couldn't find it. I remembered using it 2000ft below at the start of the climb. After much debating, I decided it was important enough to hike all the way back down and see if I can find it.

I started down, and within 5 minutes, I came up on a hiker who was resting. And he had my phone....yesss.

Closer to camp, clouds rolled in and it was actually snowing a bit.
