Off at 8:10. Made good time to Bake Oven Knob LT. Dan, Bill and Jim were already there. Rested and went on. We stopped for lunch and were getting ready to go when Dan came along - so we sat another 15 minutes. As we walked, we met 3 ladies picking huckleberries. We called them blueberries. A little further along the trail we found a great patch and picked a quart. The last 2 m. seemed long. Reached the shelter at 2:30. It has bunks. Bill and Jim were there. They left soon after - nice guys. Three kids were there camping - Chris, Scott, and Jim. They had all sorts of stuff - food, tape deck, battery operated light; you name it! Got our first freebees; 2 hotdogs each and assorted snacks. They were nice kids. Dan was really funny talking them into giving us food. A guy and kid came into shelter later. A skunk joined us later that night.
