(Mile 1727 to 1750, Hyatt Lake = 23 miles)
Well, we salvaged this day with a solid 23
miles. And we're at a campground, Hyatt Lake Recreation Area, and just
took incredible showers. Salvaged indeed.

Salvaged from what? Oh, it wasn't going
poorly, we just didn't get out of Callahan's until 10 AM. Little tasks
like uploading all of Halfmile's maps that my phone in its brilliance
mysteriously deleted. So, we missed our first four hours of hiking, but still
managed to get here despite the loss and the heat. Tomorrow, we'll be
back on track.

| Ahh, what a little smoke does for a sunset. Gumby on the trail ahead. |
A few updates: The hiker who was bothering
us is back on the trail. He was a day ahead of us, but it seems he may
actually be closer than we thought. Sigh. Just when we were
forgetting about everything. And there are fires all over the
place! Part of the trail is closed north of Crater Lake and another may
close near Jeff Park--a huge disappointment! Otherwise, all is
well. I am ridiculously happy to be back in Oregon. It doesn't
really make sense, but I am a bit more at ease, as if a weight has been
lifted. I cannot wait to get into familiar territory!
But it is late once again. Night!
I can tell you are excited to be back on home turf. I looks great! Take care of each other out there.
ReplyDeleteI am excited and relieved and happy. Gone is all of the anxiety and restlessness of Northern California. Who knew how much of a difference home could make?!
DeleteIt is also nice for many of us to have you back in Oregon! Plans are afoot by folks to make contact with you on the trail. Those of us who can not see you on the trail are happy to know you are closer to us and the finish line! Lou
