Backpacker's Pantry is a lifesaver sometimes. Thanks Dad, for the wedding gift, we are definitely using them!
Here's what dinner looked like. It's pictured next to our bear vault.
Pepe le Pew came to visit us that night. He must have liked the smell of our Pad Thai. Can you see him? He scurried off before we could take a better picture.
Sleep was well received Monday evening and we both passed out and slept in until 10 am or so. Here's what camp looked like in the morning.
Coffee and oatmeal is a blessed thing in the morning mountains. Especially after a hard night of riding. Here's out little setup. The attachment turns our Nalgene bottle into a French press. Pretty nifty, eh?
After breakfast, we packed up and set off on this trail.
I could immediately feel the strain in my legs, but riding was still a lot easier than I expected. Even though it was difficult, I found that climbing the hills was done with more ease than before. Gotta love building muscle! :)
The Mormon Pioneer Trail is a beautiful, lush green single track from Affleck Park.
It was a relatively short ride to the road, but by the time we were there, we decided to take it easy and ride down the hill back to the reservoir.
After such a tough day on Monday, we decided to camp here at Little Dell Reservoir. We spent most of the day resting.

Listening to your body is important, and our bodies were telling us to take it easy.
Then our bodies told us to play hacky sack.
To be continued.
