End: in an ant pile in a lava field
Daily: 27

Today was pretty boring, scenery-wise. I'm glad I have something to distract me from the monotony of flat forest walking.
It was eventful in other ways. First, we met a couple of runners who had already read our blog. Cool! I don't remember if names were exchanged but I hope they're still reading.
Second, after lunch we arrived in the land if ripe huckleberries! Finally! After eating handfuls, we put some in a water bottle for our morning granola.
Last, at about 2:30, two riders on horses appeared on the trail. The first horse hesitated a second after it saw us, then freaked out and bucked it's rider off. The man was pissed off, but not hurt. We were thankful we didn't meet them on a cliff or something.
Anyway, the day ended on a ton of lava fields, which are hard to walk on because not twisting your ankle on a rock every step takes a lot of concentration. So we found a flattish spot in some trees, but apparently we interrupted a nighttime raid between two ant colonies. Oops. Time to kick some ants out before bed.
