Hiked alone - 20 miles

Hiked mostly alone today after saying goodbye to Stirling who was heading out at Independence to meet his girlfriend.

Higher altitude today, 9,000-10,000.

Was surprised to see Catra and Curt again but this was because we had to detour half a mile and tramp through a meadow listening carefully to find the water. I headed down there with a guy called Tom.

Tonight was my first camp alone but it was fine, really nice actually!
