Near McDonough Reservoir on Cty Rd KK14

It got below freezing some time last night as we awoke to a frost covered campsite. We got out as fast as possible, which ended up taking as long as normal because it was so damn cold. The climb out was a nice warmup for a couple of miles, then had a short hike-a-bike section. After that, we've been on unpaved road. The weather is very pleasant today, sunny but not too warm. We hope to make it to Lake City for dinner tonight. Lunchtime today is pitas with mashed potatoes and salmon. Delicious.
