I didn't sleep well last night, but I have managed to sleep in until 8h30. I'm enjoying the warmth of the sun shining on my tent after a chilly, close-to-freezing night, during which I heard coyotes.
After two cups of strong morning coffee (this Starbucks instant Via coffee is not bad) comes the usual breakfast (granola, tamari almonds, dried apricots and vitamin C drink) and I'm off hiking by 10h30.
After studying my maps a bit last night and considering options, I decided that today I would hike up to the old Rex Mine site, which I haven't visited yet.
