Day 4 of Backpacking the Wind Rivers - Today everyone crashed from the hike yesterday and took a fishing day. Not much happened around camp. Luckily, my strength had returned so I went for a little jog. I decided to run back to the truck and head into town to get the paperwork resolved to save us the $150 fine. Really, it was an excuse to go running and explore the mountains. Happily, I headed off and took the scenic route back to the trailhead. I took probably 30 pictures of lakes that I passed and only got pics of the bigger ones. Never mind the 50 small ones I passed. That place is crazy. Water everywhere. It was 17 miles and 3:35 to the trailhead. I grabbed a burger and a shake while in-town and tried not to barf on the run back to camp (10 miles in 2:30). It really messed with me. Won't try eating that again before a run. Got back to camp and took a dip in the freezing lake. 4000' vert - 27 miles - 6:05 (counting all the photos).
