Jun 7, Detroit to Government Camp

Just awful of me as I was totally unable to do my blog. It's sort of like not finishing your homework! For me yesterday was just a terrible day and I may have whined a wee bit. It was 69.66 miles and it has become accepted to have longish rides, I mean that's what we do, but that day had 7,119 feet of climb to it! And I found it rather boring! I mean really how many tall green trees can you look at? There was not one store, gas station, pasture or home to look at. Just those tall green trees. So whine I did. Then when we got to the hotel our van and trailer, with our luggage, were not there. There's a very long and complicated story but the jist of it is that the trailer got a flat! We were in the middle of nowhere so no cell service! Our guides had to unhitch the trailer and drive around trying to find cell service. They got it all done but no dinner by Emily, so we ate at the restaurant next door and it was arranged that all had our own rooms! Yay!
A pretty start to my terrible day.

Oh well, all I could find

Now I thought this was the Ranger Station
but may have been restrooms. My bad.

A landmark telling us only about another
15 or so miles.

This is Mt Jefferson

These rather tall plants are called Bear Grass.
I do think they're very pretty.

Well, I finished the day and that's about all I can of it. All of us are doing just fine.
