Regardless of the weather, this was make or break day. We needed to do at least 20 miles and better if 25+. We ended up with 28 miles covered, which was a record for myself and others. Kangaroo rats were an issue at Spencer with incursions during the night. Lucy could not figure out why peanuts were scattered throughout the tent until she saw this. Without waking us, knawed a hole in the tent and then drilled into the dry bag containing snacks. Thunderheads were building even at dawn, and the first shower drowned this 4-incher. It really poured while breaking camp. Lucy said it was going to be an interesting day, and it was.
