Day 39- turned creek

Today I woke up early and began the long walk down the mountain. As the trail began to twist and turn I slowly began to realize that I was not going the right way. Instead of standing confused and wasting time staring at my mediocre maps I continued down the trail to the first road I came to and from here I used my navigation skills to correctly turn up another logging road and regain the trail about halfway. About midway through this day long journey to refine the trail I ate some dehydrated apple crisp for a late breakfast and it may have been the best meal I have had in the last 39 days. From here I crossed the Yack river and traveled up another trail. I found a great waterfall at the end of the day to camp by and even got some fishing in. I hooked one fish and got multiple bites but the fish broke my line sadly and it was getting too dark to retie a fly on my line. Tonight is the 3rd day on the entire trail I have made the decision to hang my food in a tree which is always quite the hassle. I usually use my food as my pillow. Tomorrow I should get very close to Eureka where my last box of food is located. I have currently walked about 1050 trail miles with 150 to go.
