My third and final night up here off the middle fork of Globe Canyon Road. I'm running a little low on water, so I'm being careful about how much I use this evening.

After sunset, I make tonight's meal: Backpacker's Pantry Kung Pao Chicken and Rice. It's OK, but despite the promising name and the slight heat added by the chillies, this meal is actually rather bland. I'll try to remember to not buy this one again.

For dessert, I eat a 3.5-ounce pouch of Trader Joe's buffalo jerky: tasty.

I'm thinking I might visit the Coyote Springs area tomorrow on the other side of Kelso Depot, which I originally scheduled for the end of the trip. Something to think about tonight while I write in my journal and browse the photos I took today...
