My phone deleted the last few drafts. Today is the 10th and I am writing the 7th-9th as I can remember them.
I was able to get up early and made 32 miles before calling it a day. With no tent to pack up it's easy to move quickly. I had a couple good conversations with some nobo hikers that were excited to be getting close to finishing up. I also heard that I am only a half day behind some sobo thru-hikers that I haven't met yet. I saw one small black bear right off the trail, but was too slow with the camera to get a good picture. I made it a lake for lunch called Little Crater Lake with 34 degree water that felt wonderful for a foot soak. Before the foot soak I did fill my water bottles with its crystal clear water. It was formed by an artesian spring and is 45 feet deep even though it's only about 50 ft across.
I made Noodles Flajolets tonight and added some venison for a little extra extra gourmet. Oregon is so flat and easy hiking compared to where I've been it's been really great.
