Wolf Creek - Pleasant Valley Creek 7/19/10 21.6 miles

Got a good start on the morning feeling pretty god after our long day yesterday. Had tow climbs before break and we were happy to get them out of the way. They were actually the easiest ones of the whole day. Kristi said she wanted to do 14 miles before lunch. I agreed. I had a bit of an upset stomach, but after a couple of stops, it settled down. We made it 13 miles before 2pm and decided to eat. We walked through some constantly changing scenery with lots more flowers and high rocky cliffs. It almost looks Grand Canyon-like, but the rocks look like they have been glued together with cement. It's some type of volcanic creation. WE pushed another six miles before our next break. WE met Flashback. He had already done 25 miles by 6pm. We planned to do five more miles, but had heard the mosquitoes became horrendous. We ended up doing about three more to camp. The mosquitoes were bad here too, but we got set up and had dinner in the tent again. Planing for a long day tomorrow too. It feels good to be doing/able to do more miles, but it still make you tired. -Cm
