July 26, 2021 - Forty-Five

Yeah! Forty-five!! 45 degrees is what we woke up to with all the windows open at about 3AM. That’s when I had to let Jett out to go potty. It was still 45* inside the Airstream just after daybreak. Not sure how cold it really got outside. The cold brew coffee was still tasty in the cold temperatures!

I had gone to bed with my robber cap on being the rear window and drape was open when we got in bed. The morning warmed up quickly as the sun came over the mountain peaks. The high was probably in the mid 80’s. 

Spent the day chill’n! ‘Hanging’ out at basecamp. My hammock stand comes in handy when you don’t have available trees where you need them. Later on in this journey I will be spending a week sleeping in it.

Jett had at least four, if not five, swims today. 

Took a short hike on Creekside Trail that leads to all of the fish landings on the north end of the campground. 

Once back to our basecamp we carried our chairs back to the creek behind the Airstream to drink a cold one and again let Jett have her last swim of the day in. 

We ended the day by grilling our T-bone steaks that we bought from the Ranch in Wyoming along with some fresh asparagus. It was so delicious! 

Jett was so tired again at the end of the day that she could not keep her eyes open.
