We woke up, got our gear together, and left Miranda, leaving Mt. Baldy behind us.
Along the way, we had to disperse the left over ashes from the campfire we made the previous evening. The boys decided a little "war paint" would be in order before we continued on our way!
When we arrived at the Head of Dean Camp, it was just beginning to rain. We put our packs down and settled in on the porch, hoping that the rain would pass quickly. The boys found something constructive to do with their time on the porch!!!
Fortunately, the rain didn't last very long, and we continued on our way to Santa Claus.
When we arrived at Santa Claus, we discovered that we were the only ones in the camp. It was really nice spot, with the campsites located in the woods just on the sides of a very large meadow.
We noticed a picnic table sitting in the meadow right near our campsite. We decided to carry it over so that we would have a nice comfortable table to sit at for our final night in the back country.
The boys played cards and we kind of just lazed around for a while. At this point, everyone was getting kind of excited to be at the end of our trek, though I think I wouldn't have minded spending a few more nights.
We had been told that there was a great place to watch the sunset at Santa Claus. We had been given some "loose directions" on where to go, so we set out to find a good viewing point. Unfortunately, we never did find it, so after a while, we headed back to our campsite and called it a night.
The final hike out would take place tomorrow morning!
