Met Jason around 11:30, got his truck off the trailer, made sure we had our shit together and headed down to St. Joe. We stopped for a burger, gas and windshield washer fluid, then finally hit the High Water Mark Trail.
The first part was surprisingly easy — really well-graded roads through a tunnel of trees and our first few water crossings. We apparently picked the wrong line on one and Jason got water into his door jambs.
We stopped around 5 and set up camp next to the water. Jason made tortellini, pasta sauce and garlic bread, we drank kombucha and listened to CDs because there was absolutely no internet.
We also had a flying squirrel move into Jason’s towel hanging from a tree. We chased him out. He came back. Apparently the towel was his now.
