Got back on the trail early this morning and met Erik from the Netherlands, whom we leapfrogged much of the day. We were feeling strong after our time in town, and between the flat terrain and slow descent most of the day, we hiked around 21 miles. Made it through Las Cienegas (“the swamps”), an unusually wet marshland specific to the Sonoran Desert. We ended up at Colossal Cave where we’d shipped some food, and hung out in the shade of the visitor’s center eating soft serve and drinking lemonade before heading down to the campground for the night.
