Isle Royale: Monday 7/12

General:
Don & Steve headed out to Lake Superior open water paddle to Daisy Farm, Sean and Dan for the 10.5 mile hike to Daisy. Not much activity this day other than the travel. Some rest time, some conversation, dinner & bed.

Dan:
Sean and I decided to experiment with maximum hydration to see if it would give us an energy boost for the hike. We drank a liter of water before walking, then an additional liter ever 2 miles or so...as we could find locations to make water. Every 20 minutes, had to stop to pee & drink. I don't know if it boosted my energy, but it definitely caused me to stop for breaks more often ;-).  We talked a lot along the way-spiritual questions, the word, relational...it really helped the time pass for me. Pretty tired coming into Daisy. This was my final trek of the trip and gave me about 32 miles total. Tried to take a nap but my legs were pretty achey. Walked to the dock where Don was hanging out. Laid down on the dock and let it's warmth soak into my calves & thighs. Don and I talked quite a bit which was great.
