Day 30

03/30/12 - Big Butt - 302.5 miles

300 miles, yeah!  Today was a bit crazy.  Thunderstorms while crossing Blackstack Cliffs.  Wasn't expecting such a long exposed ridge line.  After some lightning we scampered down the hill and set up a rain fly.  We were going to wait it out but thought it might get worse.  Prayed and moved back out in the rain.  Off the ridge was a controlled burn taking place.  Warmed my hands by one of the fires while it was still raining.  Met up with Dr. TrailMix at the shelter.  Ate some Ramen and talked a bit, then headed back out.  Rain stopped and we climbed Big Butt (giant rock that looks like a butt crack).  Big open grassy areas.  Heard coyotes!  So cool, but always a bit creepy.  Now we are camped in another field with the rain pattering away.  Hungry!
