Packed up, the 10-ton bike and I leave Pacheco Camp and stop near the Pacheco Spring tub on the way out

A couple of deer were drinking at the spring tub by this sign earlier this morning.

I'm looking forward to Paradise Lake later today. I stopped there briefly for the first time during last year's Henry Coe trip and thought that it would make a good base for a future bikepacking trip.
