Day 89- back to the trail

After a wonderful 24 hour break from the trail, I had to get back on the trail. My grandparents didn't give in easily though. With a large breakfast of eggs, hash-browns, bacon, orange juice, coffee, and biscotti they did make me consider staying another day. But I had made my choice and began packing up my stuff. I had enough food to get all the way through Oregon there, so I packed up some and am still looking at where I want to mail it. I got some more pictures up on the blog as well today. Then finally around 1230 I hit the trail. I have no complaints about the time. I had such a wonderful time with some of the extended family in southern Oregon. It was apparent everyone had done a good job feeding me when I went to buckle my hip belt. I had to loosen it to get it on but I'm not complaining. I was so rested and in such a good mood that the miles just flew by today. Before I new it I had passed by four lakes trail and began getting eaten alive by Mosquitos. I have a net but I didn't want to dig for it, so I just walked as fast as I could for a few miles. I could not take any breaks without having hundreds on me. At one point I stopped to tie a shoe and by the time my poles were down there were three on top of my hand. I probably killed 400 mozzis (mosquitos) while hiking. The day ended a bit early as I had done 21 miles in 7 hours with breaks included and was plenty satisfied and also hungry. I made some dehydrated mushroom spaghetti that was about average for my meals, but did fill me up. I will be passing out to the tune of the thousands of buzzing Mosquitos around my tent.
