Thurs 10 Oct

Nice hike last night, but I remained tired all day so it was a struggle to get up the hills that normally don't faze me. Tonight is again supposed to be beautiful, so I hope to hike again and to have more energy. I did sleep better last night so I'm not so tired this morning, so there's hope. Dad and I walked through the Mead Wildlife area this evening and witnessed the most incredibly huge gathering of sandhill cranes just before sunset. They had put a barrier across the trail so we didn't get in close, but they were gathering in groups that just kept coming and making a joyful noise.
