Very nice hike; quiet

Comments: Temp went over 100 both days! Hiked the entire trail and camped in the primitive area that nite. Saw no one all day or all nite. The only thing I saw on Friday nite was the biggest raccoon I've ever seen. We heard its 'woman's like scream' thrice during the nite. Very eerie. Also, it took all our food that was hanging from a tree on a rope. Smart coon; dumb human. Jones Spring is awesome. Had we found the way to the river from the camping area, it would have been much better. In Parent's book "The Hiker's Guide, he says, "scramble down to the river to cool off." Man we needed that river; never did find the way down to it. Take plenty of water in the summer. Nice views; nice hike. :-)
