Diamond View Lake to Campsite at mile 1913.73

Shelter Cove 

Woke up to a soaking wet tent, inside and out. Condensation inside and heavy dew outside. The joys of camping in the cold next to a lake. Fortunately, the inner net tent that I sleep in is well away from the nylon walls of the tent and I stay dry. 
Packed up my wet tent and headed into Shelter Cove, a small resort that mostly caters to fishermen, but which has a store and a nice tented area with some picnic tables and a power strip, all that a PCT hiker needs. 

Did laundry and had a shower at Shelter Cove. Tim met us and we hung out for a few hours. Headed back out on the trail around three in the afternoon and hiked a few more miles. Camping tonight at a flat spot next to the trail.

Several of us with wet gear spread our stuff out in the sunshine to dry.

  1. That part of the trail looks like it should be easy on your feet! I like the log bridge with the handrail.
