Had some mosquitos today while hiking and in camp. I think we even got early sightings of South Sister through the smoke in the morning. Lunch beside Desane Lake and another LNT campsite near a creek. Having the creek so close was nice for rinsing off and cleaning socks. The dust from the trail gets into everything, but it sounds like the lava rocks we’re headed towards are pretty rough, so I’m not sure if that’s better or worse. We’ll find out tomorrow or the next day. Hopefully the smoke clears off a bit so we can see South and Middle Sister tomorrow.
