Got up at 6:00 AM before the crew at 6:30 AM. Got a few things done and watched woodpeckers peck. Had breakfast, broke camp and hit the trail. Tried a group picture beside a lake. We hiked through the Demonstration Forest and saw a number of turkeys. Quickly got to Clarks Fork. Had our porch talk and decided to hike onto our camp at Ponderosa Park. We quickly set up camp and went back to Clarks Fork. We ate lunch there and headed to our horseback ride. We were getting our horses when lightning struck. We were delayed for 30 minutes and tried again. Unfortunately there was more lightning and the ride was cancelled. We then got things branded. I got the horse brand on my hat. Most of us then waited out the rain on the porch. Some of the boys played horseshoes. I played Moose Farkel with Carl, and then most of the others joined us. Brian won that game twice as he gambled and lost after reaching 10,000 the first time. We then went to the chuck wagon dinner. We were one of the last crews to get to eat. The beef stew tasted quite good. We then had to wait quite a while to leave as Keegan and Christian helped with cleanup. We loaded up on water on the way out since it was the last water until base camp. Chris carried the 2.5 gallon jug filled with water. We arrived back at camp and prepared for the next day. Some of the boys made large quantities of hot apple cider. Keegan cooked a spaghetti dinner he had found. Most of the boys ate the extra pound cake they were given at the chuck wagon dinner. To bed at 8:30 PM.
