I slept so well last night. It was so quiet and was the good night's
sleep we both needed. I was refreshed and for the first time in weeks,
we were hiking before seven this morning.
The trail was beautiful today. It followed a ridge that took us to
the edge of Mt Jefferson. Along the way we passed lakes, glacial
streams, and flowers of many varieties.
It seemed so quiet today. I hiked by myself in the afternoon and did
not see a single person. It almost feels eerie. Maybe it feels that way
because of the thousands of people we passed in Bend. Or maybe people
are spread out few and far between on this trail right now. We saw only
one other thru-hiker today. Even the birds seem quiet.
I also noticed a storm front moving in today. It is going to rain tomorrow and perhaps be a few degrees cooler.
We made 26 miles today and are set up well for three more 25 mile days into Timberline Lodge.
We saw the largest toad ever today! Also saw a few birds of prey.
