Day 86: Oregon Skyline Trail
Yesterday and today we have hiked an alternate trail to the PCT mainly to avoid a section over Diamond Peak which still has 5 miles of snow.
This trail takes us past a number of small lakes like the one we camped beside last night. It was a beautiful sunrise this morning.
About 17 easy miles got us to Shelter Cove where there is a camping ground with cabins and RV sites. OG’s relatives Carol and Bryce are camped here with their large trailer and we spent the afternoon with them including a lovely dinner and campfire.
Unfortunately none of the cabins were available so we are tenting tonight, but we have had good showers and done laundry. We plan a lazy morning then to start our final 93 mile section of Oregon at noon.
Lovely bunch of photos especially the sunrise ones. Oh, those mozzies must be so annoying.
Warm congrats on your perseverance in every way. Great that you eventually got fuel.
Love from the old folks at home.
Beautiful photos again. So nice to meet new people and share your experiences.
Love your commentary and photos. Congratulations on your achievements, great job
Spectacular sunrise photo!
