Mosquitoes

There was a water cache where we stopped for lunch and were able to charge our phones a little as well, I took a small nap before a bunch of other folks arrived and the FP and DW split ways from me, they took a more direct root to Shelter Cove whereas I took the PCT. I passed a couple crystal clear lakes and I was really tempted to jump in but I don't think I would be able to handle standing in one place to dry off. I would be a sitting duck and mosquitoes would eat me alive. 

I ended up doing around 36 miles that day (the longest day yet! and there was SNOW that I had to walk over and I did it all by myself *beam*) all while being attacked by the devil's spawn aka mosquitoes. I camped alone that night which would not have been bad within itself except for the fact that I had vampires in my tent with me who kept evading my attempts at squishing them. Simba passed me at some point and said he was going to try doing 40 miles so I knew he was nearby if I lost too much blood and needed help.
