Day 3
 Today you hike north to Discovery Cabin. The route is through total wilderness and a guide with a map, compass, and good knowledge of the area is needed. After a couple of hours in the alpine you drop down into the mature forest and lose altitude until you come into the Valley of the Lakes.

NO CHOCOLATE FOR YOU!!!!

Though our group might have for numerous reasons yo-yoed periodically, we were quite harmonious in strengths, wishes and obeying well directed orders most times.

So to make the sight of Discovery Cabin even that more appealing, just at the end of our day we got a little rain.

Hope they have our reservation.
I'm talking dinner reservation.
