19 miles (301 to mile 320)
Clays social experiments on me ended in a late morning start.  Turns out if he doesn't tell me that we have to get up, we don't end up leaving camp till 9, about 2 hours later than we otherwise would.  We hiked down stream of Deep Creek which true to its name has a lot of water despite the fact that the surrounding area is very dry.  We hiked by hot springs built into the side of the creek bed but they were jammed with rowdy locals so we hiked on. We exited the stream canyon and continued toward silver wood lake I believe. We were still feeling like we could walk a bit more but our priority for the night was to find a sheltered spot to pitch the tent. A storm fronts coming through and it's super windy out.
