August 8

I was camped only 20 miles from Ollalie Lake Resort. It has a small store and enough to resupply if need be, but not a place I would resupply unless I had to. I had a bear trying to get my food last night and on two separate accounts I had to scare it away from the tree I had my food hung in. Bears aren't scary to me anymore, just incredibly annoying. I need my food, 20 miles is too far to go without it!

The trail angels near Ollalie Lake were amazing and had just about everything we hikers need at their checkpoint. I even have a ride to my trailhead in the morning and had a huge dinner tonight. One can't ask for much more than that.
