Green Mountain Campground

We stopped at the Green Mountain Campground for the night, about 17 miles short of where we wanted to be. The altitude is a bitch. After setting up camp, a thunderstorm rolled through at about 6:30 PM, but it was fairly brief and passed through within about an hour. Today, the goal is to go as far as we can on the first detour, which goes around the Lost Creek Wilderness area. I left my wet jersey out on a log overnight to dry out, and found that it was cold and wet in the morning. Splendid. A large breakfast of oatmeal powers us this morning. We hit the trail at 7:55.
