Hike Day Five

Hike day 5 was looong - around 12 miles. Full packs and new food filled everyone to max weight.  If you got up early enough, a hot shower was available. We left Miner's Pass and hiked up to Schaffer's Pass where we set our packs down and hiked down Tooth ridge to the iconic Tooth of Time. After a hard rock scramble, we reached the top just in time to have the rain begin and to see and hear lightning along thr next ridge over.  Being on the top of the highest local peak is a bad thing, so after all the work of getting there, we scampered down to lower terrain. The long hike back to the packs was rainy and cold. Pack on, then a final 2 miles downhill to Clarks Fork. The cowboy singalong after dinner was a great end of a long day.
