It's the end of day one, yay! Rosie and I decided to start at the north end of Crater Lake. This cut out about twenty miles from our trip, but it insured that we would be able to access water that evening. I think we made a great choice. While hiking around Mt. Theilsen, we crossed multiple snowfields. This made for difficult hiking. Also, we acquired a possy of mosquitoes. You can imagine the two of us sliding on the snow and swatting mosquitoes; we were quite the sight. I plan on investing in a gallon of deet at our next stop. At dinner, met a Swiss hiker. He is three months into his hike, starting at the Mexican boarder. What a day! Just 42 more.
Exciting Events:
- losing my water bottle on a snow drift that covered a creek. I got it back, although a bit risky.
- thirty plus minutes of hanging a bear bag.
