Day 9: In the Twin Lakes and in the East Collegiate

Last night he started with a crazy storm. I am very happy not to camp up! Oh. After the emotion and thunder calmed down, I could rest decent. I woke up cold, so things had a slow beginning. I heard many people appear on the head of the path to start early on Mount Massive or Mount Elbrus. The noise of the car doors and the sound of the excited talk would not end in the short term. That motivated me to start.

A quick city pits

The morning began with a modest escalation that took more than expected due to the train warriors train. It’s great to see how many people use the paths here. Once the CT separated from the path by Elbrus, I was alone again and moved very well. The forest was calm and the path was clear. He had about 7 miles before reaching the road to the town of Twin Lakes. The pull of sandwiches and coffee was strong enough to move quite fast.

After an easy hitch, I was in the small town of the town of Twin Lakes. When I say little, I mean Tiny. It was a inn, two food trucks and a general store. Fortunately, the general store was created with hikers in mind. I was able to replenish, take a gatorade and a turkey sandwich. There were a lot of hikers outside while they ate, they carried their electronic products and raffle through their replenishment boxes. He felt like sitting in the intermediate school cafeteria again, since we all exchange different foods between us. This was a very successful city stop that will take me to exit. After a little more relaxing, I got another quick hitch and was back on the road.

Quite quickly, the green tunnel had changed the day, so it felt as a desert ground while it circun the twin lakes. The sun was hot red. However, the land was quite level, so I had a good time around the lakes while enjoying the views. The lakes are beautiful. There were a series of ships in the water. Many people had established camings around the lake to enjoy the full weekend.

Roasted in a burning scar

After crossing the lake, I arrived at the crossroads between Collegiate East and West. Due to time limitations, I am taking the this route. It is a little shorter and will allow me to fully enjoy the last half of the path. East began in a difficult way. I had a sweaty climb through a burning scar. The burns of burns like these are not something that I am used to seeing in the northeast. The carbonized trees, the dusty path and the brush of young bushes were my view for a few miles. Soon things finally encouraged forests. On the way I met a path volunteer named Jay. He was very passionate about protecting our public lands. He encouraged me to volunteer on the road. I think it could be something that I do the next summers instead of another walk. We’ll see!

Camping camp

When I approached the camp to spend the night, I cried a crest and was received with the beauty of the university range. A sign of things to come, I hope. I climbed some curves on the hillside. I could see Creek, where I would be camping tonight. Once I went down, I found a place adjacent to a great camp. There was a lot of activity, but the dream was easy.

Rose, Bud and Thorn

Rose: talking with a lot of hikers on Twin Lake Village. It is very interesting to see all the different personalities that attract this hobby.

Espina: The burning scar. It is a difficult reminder of Danger Fire can play in the country.

BUD: I have another three days in the university range. I can’t wait to see what this reserved area has.
