Day 4, Sunday, July 24

Bruce was in the scorching heat again.  Someone told him the heat index was 109. So thankfully he has decided to cut back on the miles.  And he stopped at Big Meadows concession for lunch, 2 gatorades, and a nice long wreck. He made it to Rock Springs  hut in the heat but he was hoping for a good place to camp so he could use his bug net. But it was too rocky so he is in the hut for the night. He only made it about 13 miles today. He felt a lot better knowing he didn't have to get so many miles in each day. Two other north bounders showed up at the hut and they watched deer play. He was able to get on and make reservations at a hostel for tomorrow night.
