Day 2 - Michigan Creek to Tsusiat Falls - Jun2 29, 2013

Day Two - the Resurrection
 
     (Michigan Creek Campground)

Deep sleep erases yesterday's shock and rekindles hope.  Breakfast by the sea with my heroes.  Then break camp and launch off!

 That day the sun came out and so did I.  

It is along the water for a while with rock hopping and fording the occasional chilly stream.










Felicity bids adieu to tidewater on boulder beach and then we head upland.








 One of several problems with the uplands is that you have to climb to get there.  Then when you get there every little drainage is another up and down, often very steep.

 

We plodded through mud and danced through mire much of the day but the forest was beautiful and occasionally we ran across relics of old days of logging, mules and steam engines.

I am not sure of my offence but it appears that I did something wrong on the path??


 Some great joys along the course were the ferries, a chance to take the pack off, and go for a ride!

 

Here Felicity soars across the abyss, wings spread wide.


Then we repack and hit the trail again on our way to tonight's camp site, Tsusiat Falls.  At kilometer 25 it is about one third of the distance through the trail.



 

The falls are beautiful.



But no time for gawking!  Work to do.




We pitch tent, dine and then it is off to sleep.


I drift off with Verity reading Blisters to Bliss, irony on the West Coast Trail.
