20 Miles
Mack's Inn Campground
So last night at Lillian Lake during dinner Spins and I saw a mama moose and baby across the lake. I immediately thought bear because my glasses were off and I only saw big black blurry blob but after second glance saw the skinny legs of the moose.
We were up really early this morning and out of camp around 6:40 and started up the valley along Hells Roaring Creek. The beginning was bushwhacky but after crossing over and heading up we found some tracks and trail occasionally. At the top, the headwater of this creek is actually the most isolated source of the entire Missouri/Mississippi rivers which I found really cool. We crossed over the hill down to make-your-own-path land until coming to Sawtelle Peak trail which came out to the road. The roadwalk all downhill was dusty thanks to a seemingly unlimited number of ATV's of all shapes and sizes a lot of which I've never even seen before like the four seater ATV. When we got to Sawtelle, Spins and I destroyed Subway and headed over to the gas station which had a crowd there. It was customer appreciate day and they gave away free hotdogs, brats, and soda as well as rattling off prizes. Dan, who we hiked out of Lima with, ended up winning a grill and turning around and selling it for a hundred bucks which was hilarious because out of all the people there the hiker won the grill. I packed beer down to Mack's Inn because they sold none there and we got a campsite and had a nice fire for once. Another hopefully early morning to kris to camp at the border of Yellowstone and then cows into Wyoming the next morning!!!
