Day 9 -- Today we hiked about 4 miles to Miranda where we were gonna stay for 2 days. It wasn't a very tough hike although the hike up to the staff cabin was steep uphill for about half a mile, not fun. When we arrived at the staff cabin we were all pretty tired. In the middle of our porch talk (they basically just tell you the rules and stuff your able to do like black powder rifle shooting) when a guy gets bucked off his horse the staff dude didn't see it though so Blake ran forward to see if the guy was alright and the staff dude said guys stay on the porch when I am talking to you. Blake protested saying hey that guy down there may be hurt can i go help him. I swear i never have seen such a big man run so fast and swear at the same time. The guy was okay by the way he just had the wind knocked out of him. After we got camp set up we learned how to throw tomahawks. I was pretty good at it. After that we went black powder rifle shooting that was really fun. The rest of the day we just hung out. We went to bed early that night because tomorrow was going to be a hard and long day 12 miles total i think but this was without packs I used a drawstring bag that held my platapus,(2 liter container of water) rain gear, pants in case it got really cold, and food like breakfast and lunch. Went to sleep at like 7 so I could wake up at 4:30.
Day 10 -- We headed toward Baldy at about 5:30 and had breakfast on the trail. We saw at least 2 miners houses on the way they were pretty cool. When we got to the top it was sooo windy omgsh you could lean forward and the wind would keep you up it was pretty awesome. They had made these little rock shelter things that when you sat down behind them the wind stopped it was pretty neat. We took a couple of pictures and then look for a way down. It was basically rock skiing all the way down we ate lunch were it got flatter. We climbed down for awhile until we got to Baldy Town where we got the remainder of our food, those who brought money could buy stuff at the trading post there. Mario bought himself a chocolate bar and said it was his birthday cake, because it actually was his birthday. When we finally got back to mirinda we all became couch potatoes and basically did nothing the rest of the day although some of us played mountain ball again. The rules of the game were basically any rules that makes it impossible to win except if you are the mountain men aka the staff. But it just played for fun not to win.
