Day 137: R&R have R&R at VVR.
With only 1.5 miles from our campsite to the lake we had a sleep in and still managed to be at the ferry dock an hour early.
In the ride over to the Vermilion Valley Resort (VVR) campground at the other end of the lake we saw an osprey swoop down to the water, catch a fish and then feed its young in the nest at the top of a pine tree down at the lake’s edge.
Unfortunately there was no accommodation available in the motel section of the resort so we camped in the allocated through hiker space close to the restaurant. We did enjoy cooked meals, laundry and showers. In the afternoon we walked about a mile down the dirt road to get phone reception and were able to get some news from home.
After dinner we sat around a campfire and exchanged stories with some of the other hikers.
No PCT miles to count today and quite a good break despite having to sleep in the tent.
Wow watching that Osprey must have been amazing!
Another great batch or photos. The scenery is spectacular and weather has looked pretty good. Not suprised you have been feeling light headed and fatigued given all the mountains you have conquered. It’s hard to imagine the lakes perched up on the mountains, very pretty. Keep well. Grant
