The beginning of our max patch adventure that brought us 5.5 miles to lemon gap without any potential camp sites. Chad, Chris and I ran back (3.5 miles on the road to the car) them picked up Lea and Eric who were waiting with out bags. We then proceeded to hike back up about 1 mile to the base of max patch. As we were setting up camp (about 9pm) another camper came running down the hill asking if he could camp with us for the night as he had been startled by two black bears. Needless to say it was difficult to sleep, however I was able to calm everyone down with my melodies tunes of "oh susanna" on the harmonica!
