We slept well last night except of course for the dirt road related interruption at 1:30am. About ten ATV’s came down the road making a lot of noise and proceeded to stop very near to our tents while they figured out where they were going. They then turned around shining bright headlights all over our tents before very loudly disappearing.
Once awake on our own accord we knock out the next 7 miles of road walk, traversing into a wind farm with hundreds of wind turbines surrounding us. The wind picks up throughout the morning, and by the time we reach the water cache we are very happy to be at the bottom of a hill with less wind.
We set up for a siesta with the plan to knock out another 5-6 miles afterwards. Neither us nor General have much motivation to walk back into the wind, and we decide to call it and just enjoy a short day near water. We realize that the other family is likely headed to the same spot for the night. Waterboy and the kids head back down the trail in the evening, hoping the other family is nearby, and run into them coming around a corner. They decide to camp at the same place, and we visit until it’s time for bed.
