Big Lake Youth Camp

We hiked the rest of the lava field section trying to get it done before the hotter part of the day. I was going a bit slow but the scenery was worth it. I talked to some horse back riders and then I got to Big Lake Youth Camp which I have been talking about since we got close to the Oregon border and I was not disappointed. FP, Sean, DW + 1 were already there. I showered, got my packages (new shoes!) and ate lunch while we were there. We got a ride to Bend with the husband of one of the youth camp staff members and they let us stay in their house for the night. Our trail angel brought us to one of Bend's many breweries for dinner and story time. He and his wife are vegan so he was able to guide me through the menu (they even don't allow meat to be cooked in their kitchen #goals).
