Day 4 was a day of rest and feasting. We were supposed to move from region 40 back to 41, but because we were right on the border we decided we were good to go, especially since we wanted Sain to nurse his shoulder a bit. Having missed a hot dinner the first nite, we fired up one of our freeze-dried dinners for lunch (after sleeping in and playing cards on a beautiful day). After lunch and some more cards, we headed out on a nice day hike up to the top of a nearby peak. It was a nice 4-5 mile hike (with no packs) to the top, most of which was along the ridge (easy going). The views at the top were amazing. You could basically spin in a circle and see mountains all around you. One of the best views I have ever seen.
There are some other great pictures in the Photo Gallery ... especially the stitched panoramics that Allen took.
The trip down was a little problematic. Trevor aggrivated his knee, which was not good.
After getting to the bottom, we had another large hot dinner, and then proceeded to play some more cards. Here is a pic of us playing cards in our mosquitoe nets:
