This morning, Rosie and I woke up in a cute rustic cabin with light filtering through the red curtains. I made a red light district joke to Rosie about our curtains, and it made me laugh. Then, we scooted out to breakfast. On our way into the restaurant, we met Half-Dome, another thru-hiker. He joined us for breakfast. After eating, we packed up and bought rainbow sherbet. We ate our sherbet on a picnic bench overlooking the lake, then scooted off towards the trail.
We saw great views on our hike today. On the trail we saw a huge geological structure called a mesa. I will be googling their origin, once I have internet service. While setting up our campsite, the Belgian walked by on the trail. He sat down with us and had a snack of nutella on an everything bagel (yum.... trail food) and told us about his trip to Bend. Now, Rosie and I are sitting by our little fire in a swarm of relentless mosquitoes.
