Up at 6:00 AM with the crew. Broke camp and hiked to the Cimarron River. Carl was having trouble, so the boys took a lot of his weight from his pack. This sped Carl up quite a bit making me the slowest of the crew. My feet were really hurting. We got to the river and soaked our feet in it while filtering water. The coldness on the feet felt wonderful. We ate dinner for lunch knowing our evening camp had little or no water. It was mostly downhill to the river. It was mostly uphill from there to our camp at Upper Bench. We probably hiked 9 to 10 miles total for the day. We set up camp pretty quickly. Dr. G had medical consultations with each crew member. Advisors meeting to discuss how things were going. Lunch for dinner. Keegan led a devotional. Used a latrine (no walls) for the first time after our sister crew showed me where it was. Walked around the dry lake bed and found a fairly fresh deer leg. Also found a log that had been rolled and lots of animal droppings. Saw a deer and fawn walk through the lake bed. Boys climbed the rocks at the end of the lake bed. They then showed the deer leg to our sister crew. This camp had the first mosquitoes that I saw.
