Day 2: Miles 11.2-20 Lake Morena

The first night was wild – a skunk sprayed close to us – we must have set up close to his nest – luckily our gents didn’t get any smell. We also heard dear falling over our guylines- so we didn’t get too much sleep.

We woke up and hike two miles to a spot with a nice rock to sit on and make breakfast. I made fresh coffee and dried my sleeping bag.

We stayed at this campground and enjoyed a hot shower and some food at a close by shop.

The trail wasn’t too difficult and it was still a bit rainy in parts. I feel a bit weak due to my cold but since I am only going 10-12 miles a day, it’s ok. The pack feel heavy with 33lbs (15kg).

It’s a new ultra light pack without metal framing so I will have to get used to it.
