Day 81; Mon July 16 2007

(Dr Bug) Very tired today. Stayed awake a good bit last night because of movement around the camp after dark. Ultimately, I decided it must have been a park deer looking for a place to bed down for the night. So this will be a short entry.

Walked about 25 miles including most of Lassen National Park. Took a side trail to Terminal Geyser, ate our dinner by a beautiful lake in the company of a new and very young park ranger. Walked through some very unspectacular forest. Missed an all you can eat lunch at the Drakesbad (Dude) Ranch, and treked over some of the dustiest trail you could ever imagine. Washed myself twice today (rivers and lakes) and still I am covered with multiple layers of dust.
