Highlights from Day Five
Later in the evening, we entertained the guests visiting our campfire by using some extra fuel to light up a Zorro "Z" in the sand near our tent.
We spent the night tenting at beautiful Camper Bay.
Some bridges are a little more rustic than others.
On either side of this cable car were ladders descending or ascending the equivalent of a 25-30 storey building... Ouch... Well, at least it gets all the climbing over with quickly. In these pictures you can only see a few of the ladders that made up the entire climb. There were probably about seven on either side of the creek.
Although there are seven cable cars on the trail, we technically didn't need to use any this late in the season, as the creeks were fairly dry. Nonetheless, we thought we'd give this one a go for fun, and to say we'd done it. I rode another one for fun later in the evening at our campsite.
The craziest of all the suspension bridges on the trail was this one, only one plank wide. The last ladder leading down to the bridge is attached to the one end, and thus swings with the bridge. Hikers can feel every movement of others on the bridge/ladder.
More crazy roots to negotiate.
