Five Plus Three
   Equals Eighty

Wednesday - August 6, 1986 page 13

After a couple of hours, the horses started standing around and the riders began getting bored. They saddled p and headed out in search of a nice and cool evening camp.

The afternoons trek took them across many more creeks, some had lots of flowing water and huge boulders, some were so cold that the water and huge boulders, some were so cold that the water was actually white, and others were gravy brown from silt and mud.

Everyone was getting tired of the heat and the dust and the miles; as trails #112 and #113 went by, the distance to the lake where they would spend that night decreased and their anticipation for relaxation increased. Coming over a ridge they could see a couple of lakes, but the closer they got, the smaller the lakes got; the larger of the lakes was only about a foot deep and 15 feet in diameter. Debie insisted that these lakes could not possibly be the lakes, the lakes on the map showed to be much larger. As they continued on the trail, they paralleled a creek that crossed a plateau of rich mountain meadow grass. It was Killen Creek, thus verifying that the puddles were indeed the lakes appearing on the map.
