Duck Lake
Day 2, mile 6.5
Elevation: 10,400 feet

We take a short break at the shore of picturesque Duck Lake, and Phil takes the opportunity to cool off by dipping in the chilly 63 degree water. About 10 seconds is all he can take before making a quick exit. However, great sport that he is, he eagerly volunteers to go back in when I tell him I want to get a picture. He manages another 10 seconds, recorded below for posterity. Once back on land, he makes a quick check on the Monsanto effect, and lets out a terrifying scream at the results. Don't worry Phil, the shrinkage is only temporary.
