I didn't take a lot of pictures on Day 4. It was still raining pretty hard when we packed up, and I decided to try and keep 
the camera dry for the day. I might have been influenced by the cable car that we got to start the morning with. It was a memorable cable car for me, because somehow I managed to lose one of my trekking poles. I clipped them too my backpack, and when I got to the other side, there was only one. I didn't think that it fell in the river, but I wasn't willing to go back to the other side to look for it, then back again. Cable cars are really tiring! It's a major upper body workout.
I don't remember too much about the hiking that day, just that it was fun, technical and that there was lots of water on the trail. I believe this was the day where two muskrats (or otters?) swam by in front of me on the trail. That's how much water was on the trail. Also, at one point I did the lumberjack log dance. I was stepping on logs to get across a small lake (aka the trail), and it turned out that all of them were floating and therefore rolling. I managed to make it across without bailing! I think this day may have been my first bail. I seemed to like falling on my ass on slippery boardwalks. No matter which way I slipped, I always seemed to land on my ass - I good thing, I realize, but I was starting to get a bit of a complex.
There were some major, major ladders to get down too, and back out of Cullite Cove. The book said there were 30 story's of ladders. I work on the 30th story of my building, and I think that's about right. 
The photos I posted in this one are view from the toilet (I actually think this is Michigan Creek, but what the heck, I didn't take a lot of pictures on day 4), a random boardwalk, random ladder and camp at Cullite, and cooking dinner. The last one with the sleeping bags is another photo credit for Alli. This photo kills me! Weaze and I bought the same sleeping bag (it's great!), and that night was cold. I think my nose was the only thing showing!
