This weekend, the Yeti and I drove 3.5 hours downeast to the Cutler Coast Public Reserved Lands… also known as Emer’s first adventure in hike-in camping (also: first time hiking with a backpack). Beautiful views, but completely ill-prepared for the steep up-down-up-down of the coastal terrain. The inland trail wasn’t nearly as strenuous as the coastal trail (the coastal hike took us over 6 hours to get to our site, hiking back to the trailhead on the inland trail took us 4 hours—with much longer resting times).

Note to self: the outbound car ferry schedule is just as important as the inbound ferry schedule. Otherwise, your vehicle (and possibly you) will have an unexpected overnight island adventure.
