Day 3 - Blood Mountain Cabins

I was able to change the cabin reservation and get into it tonight. Then with luck, our shuttle driver from the first day was able to move me to those cabins. What a difference in view from the Quality Inn I stayed in at last night. The view from the cabin deck is the third picture down. I am in Bear Cabin. The interior decorations follow the theme. There is an upstairs loft that is quite cozy. When I arrived here I bought a frozen hamburger that I microwaved. I couldn’t believe how good it tasted! Near the end of the row of cabins is a little shack with a sign on it that says “Water Hole.” There must be a natural spring being diverted inside the shack, because behind it, there is flowing water going back into a small stream that follows the length of the cabins. The last photo is the sign I would have seen if I had hiked from Lance Creek tomorrow. I was able to take the photo because I took a short hike to a local camp outfitter in Neel Gap. I wanted to try and salvage at least a mile today. I will go back tomorrow for some resupplies. I’m just not sure how many days until the next resupply opportunity. It’s three or four days depending on how we do. The forecast for tomorrow is 100% chance of rain. It will not be a good day for Julia. I feel like I am cheating, but I am icing the knee so I can start back full steam on Monday. Lastly: Happy Birthday to the best daughter a mom could have!
