I woke early and hit the trail. I have another 1,400′ hill to climb and descend today. The green tunnel seems to be dissipating – I’m seeing a lot more meadows and open areas. Yay!
I was delighted to find that once I descended he hill there were minimal mosquitoes! Yay! It was wonderful to hike in short sleeves!
There are still many flowers in this area
I stooped and swam in Sisters Mirror Lake, and it felt great! I’m definitely going to swim as often as I can.
I arrived at Mesa Creek, in a huge meadow. It was so pretty, I decided to camp here.
I filled up my water bottles in the local stream and was greeted by this guy
It was a great campsite and I slept well.
Thanks for reading!
