7/27

7/27
Another wonderful day in Oregon. I turned my alarm off at 5:21 and slept in until 7. I had given up on a large mileage day and that was fine by me since I had hiked a 30 yesterday.

This sign was a few miles out from camp. It wasn't really true for me, though, since I took a detour to see Crater Lake and that was a few hundred feet higher. 


Water was scarce again today, and will be tomorrow as well. 


I'm camped on the south shore of Summit Lake tonight after hiking 31 miles. I'm consistently amazed at how much easier these big miles days have become. Maybe I should sleep in every day...

The mosquitos are as bad as they have been all trip. That may exclude just north of Tuolomne meadows... But yeah they are particularly bad today. First time breaking out the head net in a while but it is an absolutely critical gear item when you need it.
