Diamond View Lake to Campsite at mile 1913.73

We all agreed to wake up with the 6:00 AM alarm and not push the snooze button, so I did and hoped the others were as well. It didn't feel as cold as it has the past few mornings, but the tent rain flap was soaked and all my stuff felt somewhat damp. Camping by a lake is beautiful, but it is usually colder and definitely moister. Luckily in 5 miles we will be at the Shelter Cove Resort where we should be able to dry out our gear. ​

The goal was for everyone to be ready to hike at 7:15 AM...we were all ready to hike at 7:29 AM.  Not too bad, at least it's before 7:30 AM.

Today we have 5 miles to hike into Shelter Cove Resort where we plan on doing laundry, showering, and eating junk food. We will also be meeting Tim here for our resupply to get us into Sisters, Oregon in 3 days.​

The hike started out a bit cold, but check out the trees and moss. Oregon definitely has no shortage of trees.

There was about a 1 mile section with deadfall blocking the trail, so the going was slower.

It warmed up some, but the fog didn't burn off for a while:

We finally made it to Shelter Cove Resort at 9:20 AM.

This resort is extremely hiker friendly. They have a hiker area with picnic tables, a tent, and a hiker box.

Nice hiker area
The store sold frozen pizzas for $10 that they cook for you, so I had to order a cheese pie. Tim arrived just after 10:00 AM. I grabbed a set of sweats from my suitcase and put it on so we can launder all our clothes. While the laundry was going we were able to grab a 6 minute shower ($1.50 per 3 minutes). 

There were many other hikers that showed up throughout the time we were there, so it was fun hanging out and talking to them all. Maybe too much fun since we didn't get out of there until almost 3:00 PM. That is 5.5 hours of hanging out at Shelter Cove Resort when we hoped to get out of there around noon. ​

Just because we got out of there late doesn't mean we won't put in the planned miles. We have 2.2 miles to hike to get back to the PCT and then we have another 11 miles after that. 

We hiked the 2.2 miles and finally got back on the PCT after about 25 miles.

Finally back on the PCT
Just over 4 miles after getting back on the PCT we came across Lower Rosary Lake. How beautiful!

Almost 8 miles in there was a sign indicating a ski shelter. We heard this shelter was incredible and really wanted to stop there for the night, but we need to hike another 4 miles so we put our heads down and continued hiking.

Ski shelter...we wish
We planned on making it to Bobby Lake, but after camping at a lake last night and woke up with our tent soaking wet, we wanted to avoid staying by a lake. At 7:00 PM we started looking for a campsite and eventually found a site one mile short of Bobby Lake, so we stopped. ​

Oh, you might have noticed by the miles in the title that we passed PCT mile 1,900. The problem was that we were on the alternate trail that bypassed the PCT when it hit 1,900. Oh well...mile 2,000 will be here before we know it.

Home for the night
