We had a little rain during the night, so 1 pack got damp from being left out and open. The mosquitoes were awful all night - I got very little sleep and was up by 7am. We were busy with breakfast and forgot to try to check in with Bill on the radios. Lots of squabbles over nothing between the boys all morning.
First thing for the mornings hike was a huge hill and then more huge hills alternating with straight ridges. We could feel ourselves losing weight. It was a very pretty hike with lots of overlooks, but really long day at 9.7 miles. The cell phone worked sporadically on top of 1 mountain right under the tower.
When we got into Lake Desor South it was a long downhill, but a beautiful lake and even warm water, sandy beach and no leeches- just a chilly wind. This was our favorite campsite during the whole trip. My toes hurt to bend , I think my boots were a little too small.
By this day the boys were craving "real " food like hamburgers and pizza, fries and lasagna!
When the boys were getting water filtered we saw a red fox chase a red squirrel through the brush next to our camp.
