Friday we hiked down the SK to Cedar and chatted with the PSAR rangers. Also erased Noah, Ivan, and Marika off the rocks.

Today we hiked to Two Mile Corner. On the SK you work around the trail crew, on the BA you you work around the mules. The trail crew smells better. Saw a normal squirrel eating what it is supposed to eat: namely mule dung. Must be better for them than Cheetos.

Mule strings are supposed to travel 10 minutes apart. We met three strings between two mile and mile and a half, so I guess no one told them. Dusty, dusty trail. The wrangler told everyone it is because it hasn't rained. Also because the mule shoes grind the rock into dust, but they wouldn't say that.

Suggested to a hiker that his pack would ride a lot better if he would tie his sleeping bag on instead of letting it swing free and bounce against his legs. Ignored me.

Erased Avi and a couple of others off the rocks. Busy, busy, busy.
