\nMiles: 1836.7 – 1869.6<\/p>\n

Today could be summed up in a few words: Mt. Thielsen. Tons of bugs. 32 miles. Aching legs. Bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a beautiful day, though, as long and buggy as it was. I\u2019ve climbed Mt. Thielsen before, so I knew it would be an amazing sight, and the peak known as the lightning rod of the Cascades was just as impressive as the first time I saw it.<\/p>\n

We had lunch by a creek running from its base, then put it behind us for the rest of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We camped in a dark, buggy spot in the forest with a long, steep climb to get water out of a mosquito occupied stream. That night, Joe Dirt\u2019s tent pole popped, making us all jump. A couple minutes later a few of the baffles in my sleeping pad exploded. Poor Rodeo was in his tent between ours and probably thought he was being shot at. I heard him exclaim, \u2018what is happening??\u2019 which sent me into giggles. I said a quick prayer to the gear gods to keep my pad from totally giving up before I replace it.<\/p>\n
