Day 50: mosquitoes
It was a fine but cold night so we had incentive to walk briskly when we set out at 6:30am.
We had nice views of the misty lake before the trail turned away.
Like yesterday we walked through miles of beautiful forest. Twenty three miles brought us to a good campsite – the only problem is the thousands of mosquitoes. Fortunately OG lent us some repellent, and we lit a smokey fire. I think this will be pretty standard from now on, now that the snows are melting and the weather is warming up (we think).
Today and yesterday were the first days where we did not meet any other hikers doing the PCT.
Separate tents is a little British upper crust, Ros 🙂
Thank you for sharing your adventures- we all get to read at Bilinga, then send on to Nichelle.
PS All that mozzie spray has not made you grow taller. Just in case you hadn’t realised LOL
Stay safe and thanks for the great photos. Jen
