Day 41- into real bear country

I am now closing in in the end of my adventure and also the most densely populated area of grizzly bears in the lower 48 states. It could get a little dicey. I woke up to dew all over my sleeping bag and other things that were out this morning, but since it climbed over 100 degrees it was not too much of an issue to dry my stuff out. From there I went in to Eureka and picked up my food from the post office and also did my laundry. Then of course I had to check out the place that claimed they had the best burgers. They were pretty good but I wouldn't say they were the best. From there I walked out of town in the scorching heat. Instead of going straight up the trail into the mountains I decided to go an extra halfmile or so to jump in glen lake. It was a wonderful way to spend the hottest part of the day. There were many people with their kids and jet boats enjoying the weather. From there I hiked 13 miles up into the mountains and decided I would once again hang my food because tonight I don't feel like fighting a grizzly, maybe tomorrow.
