Day 40Despite the wind and our messed up door zipper, Anna and I slept well in our spot at Bird Spring Pass, thanks mostly to an excellent pitch and a hand-built windbreak.

We passed the group of girls we had been seeing the past few days, stopped for a break, and then leap frogged with them the next few hours.

Once clean, I wished Bush a happy birthday and then Anna and I headed out to the Cowboy Tavern for brunch where we enjoyed the nearby hummingbirds while we ate.
