Down amongst the leaves. This is the summer of thieves.

Day TwentyOne, July 8, 26 Miles
At Mile 423, Poptart 122/1000
Mosquitoes were pretty bad all night and this morning, disappearing as the trail approached Delmoe Lake. Took the Ley bushbash, it was good fun but I messed it up a bit then ended up in some private property. Seems everyone else had similar problems. I'm pretty sure I trespassed my way along the lake shore, luckily the resident dog was friendly otherwise I would have been in the lake. The 10/9/8 mile (depending on who you ask, I say 9) Delmoe Lake Road walk was only bearable with my mp3 player. Hit up my old friend I90 and hung out at Homestake Lake for a couple of hours, I had nothing else to do. With the sun going down so late and it finally getting hot, it stays hot till after 9pm. So I don't mind hiking and setting up late when it's a little cooler. The trail after I90 is new and amazing. Plenty of mountain bikers and I would too. Nicely forested with granity granite outcrops. I am currently sitting in my best campsite yet. Cowboyed near a little outcrop, light breeze keeping the mosquitoes away. Sitting, eating up on the outcrop watching the world. Magic.
