 Today's route stats:Distance: 6.0 miles (estimate) Elevation Gain: 300 feet Elevation Loss: 500 feet 
					Today we 
					hiked back to Hotel Spring.  Not much to add except 
					that it was very enjoyable hiking.  
					Rob has a bird app on his phone which includes bird songs.  
					He began playing the song of the Canyon Wren, and within 
					minutes several nearby Canyon Wrens showed up, probably 
					angry that another wren had invaded its territory.  
					After sundown we were treated to swarms of bats and the 
					"song" of croaking frogs.  It doesn't get any better 
					than this.
