Day 90-the breakfast break

All night there was a bear growling about 100 feet from camp. He never came into camp which was fine with me. He sounded like he was in pain which may explain him being there all night and not even coming into my camp. Due to the bear interrupting my sleep, I slept in and didn't even start in the trail until 7. I walked 29 miles through snow and millions of Mosquitos and made it to mazama village where I destroyed their buffet. I had six plates of turkey, mashed potatoes, lasagna, and apple cobbler. While sitting their I saw there were 32 mosquito bites on my right arm alone. I hate those things. At the buffet I met alienwalker. She is a through hiker who has done some skipping, but she was nice. After dinner I headed out and planned on walking 7 miles to a good viewpoint where I would watch the sunrise. It ended up I went down the wrong trail for 4 miles costing me time and energy. I had to back track and then still do the 7 miles. I had to walk until midnight but I did end up making it. It was strange to night hike because I would see lots of deer, but only their eyes reflected light. It was like a cartoon. I am glad to get to the beautiful crater lake. It only took 37 miles and it feels like a windstorm on the rim.
