The De-Tour: Day 2 — Off to a Rough Start

September 18, 2017

Close to the gravel road, we were awoken at first light by traffic, including 18-wheelers. And as we climbed out of our tents, we got our first look at the site we’d called camp the night before.

It was glorious. In that “it worked” kind of way.

We each investigated in our own way, discovering the second site (occupied) next to us, the source of the daddy-long-leg spiders (the fire ring where we’d setup, not the trees), and of course the warnings to be careful. 18-wheelers or not, we were in bear country. (Note that we never saw a bear.)

After a bit of exploration and breakfast (which ranged from coffee to granola bars to a breakfast sandwich with fruit), it was time to get going, so the tents came down (dry!) and we all piled into our trucks, glad to be on the road and headed to our first planned adventure.

It wouldn’t be long until we were hit with bad news. Check it out now at https://adventuretaco.com/the-de-tour-day-2-off-to-a-rough-start/.
