Day 5 meant facing up to more trail that hadn't been worked since a tough winter. I managed it, a bit of road walk, and unexpected dry camping that I was perfectly prepared for.

Lost Coast: King Crest and Spanish Ridge

King Range National Conservation Area. Time spent on the King Crest and Telegraph Ridge with long views and a little artistic low clouds.

More #wildlife on the trail!
What washes up, a couple of birds, and something that looks too much like a rattlesnake on Rattlesnake Ridge.

Trying to figure out what hashtags are needed is always too much. #DangerNoodle yeah.
