LIES!
Day: 295
It started out being a single short pass up from Ruby Lake (where I was up for some sunrise pictures), then a supposed 10 miles of downhill.
Then the second pass appeared on our 3rd mile, then the third… by the fourth Mom and I stopped believing about Mikes mysterious rantings about this downhill into Devils Postpile National Monument.
After 14 miles we wandered (Mom staggered) into the campground at Devils Postpile National Monument; only to find the backpackers campground occupied by the CCC (California Conservation Corp.) and closed to us. We shelled out another $14 for a regular spot, in which I set up my tent on the spot to park our car (which we didn’t have) because it was the flattest.
I proceeded to receive numerous mosquito bites on my forehead to go with the blisters on my toes…
Mosquito bites and blisters on your toes.
Oh please no more pics of those feet!!
