I have cell-phone reception up here, so I check my messages, but can barely hear them due to the wind! I walk back down the hill and have another Mountain House Meal: Teriyaki Chicken with rice. A few people are partying up at the north end of the campground, but my area is quiet. The evening cools down, but remains comfortable. There are few flies here this evening. I get to sleep around midnight, but don't sleep as well as hoped.
