It was a fantastic hike, and we met some really cool people along the trail.
At Camper Bay, I joined some Hongcouverians who were making a /huge/ fire. Their burner had broken down, so they were using coals from the fire to heat their dinner. I lodged several large stones in the fire, then took them out a while later to make a steaming footbath (using a bit of runoff from a cliff for water).
We packed all of our food in and out; except for two places: at the Nitinat River, the native who ferried us across the river also treated us to crab (he killed them and removed their shells there, fed the shells to the salmon minnows beneath the dock, and fed the salmon to the crab at an upstream bend in the river.)
There was also a hamburger stand on the beach about halfway through the hike. (This was not your typical hamburger stand).
