3 miles total
Dana and I decided to do a short hike-in to Waboose Lake NCT campsite for an overnight in this gorgeous site. The weather was perfect 80s with no chance of rain.
We hiked in 1.6 miles and once again the swim just felt amazing! We set up camp and got ready for cooking supper, one of Dana's favorite things to do! We also read by the lake in the sun, Dana swam and dove with her goggles. Then we hung our bear bag after many failed attempts. We didn't mess around and hung it way back at the main loop trail. Then we took a calm water, sunset swim and tucked into bed. This was the first time I slept all night with the fly off. It was amazing to sleep under the open sky and watch the stars.
Unfortunatley on a Sunday night we had the bad luck of having a camp neighbor across the lake who found it necessary to run a generator from 8:30 to 11 pm!!! We have no clue for what? After that it was awefully quiet and despite our bear spray and food hung far away Dana struggled with the sounds of the night forest. I think we slept from midnight to 3 and then she listened to her audio book for hours while we both dozed off and woke many times. After 5 we both slept like rocks as daylight brightened. I got up at 8:30 and filtered water etc. then decided to get the bear bag alone since I could not get Dana awake. I finally woke her around 9 out of deep sleep and we ate our oatmeal. We ran out of fuel after this morning cooking which was good timing. It lasted for 5 nights and mornings of cooking.
After packing up we hiked around the north end of Waboose and reached the boat landing after 1.5 miles. Brett and Leo picked us up! Another wonderful time in the forest!
