Day 53- bear creak and a wrong turn

Happy fourth of July. It started with a 14 mile walk to the top of selden pass for us. It was a tough climb to the pass, about 3000 feet. Once at the top we heard loud booms. It was a thunderstorm that we were right in the middle of at 11000 feet. To make matters worse it began to rain. We took cover under a small tree on the top of the pass to avoid going over the snow field in the lightning. We ate lunch here as well. As soon as we were thoroughly soaked, we walked the three miles to the treacherous bear creak. According to rumors the hardest/scariest parts of the trail are the 5 main passes and then the crossing of bear creak and evolution creak. We crossed it no problem about 60 yards down stream of the trail. It was moving fast though. At this point it was about 330 and we decided to try to make it to vermilion valley resort (vvr)(13miles). The problem was we accidentally turned off onto the bear creek trail and walked 4 miles down it before we realized to turn around (8miles total were lost) The day ended with dr Chonzy (current hiking partner) pushing ahead to vvr and me camping about a mile before the cut off. Out of frustration for the day I over ate which was a terrible idea.
