At breakfast, Rosie (thinking about the Magic Tree series) decided we should call day five "Morning of the Mosquitoes." We packed and left our campsite first thing in the morning. We decided we would stop for breakfast once the mosquitoes went away. Our hunger and caffeine needs broke us before we could shake off the little jerks. So, we ate our breakfast in a cloud of mosquitoes. In the afternoon, we trudged through snowfields on diamond peak. We decided to push hard to make it to shelter cove. We made it shortly after five-thirty. At the resort, a handful of thru-hikers were drinking beer and soaking up the sun. We joined them for the evening after jumping into the lake in our dirty hiking clothes.
