and still more North Boundary Trail

I hike 24 km from Oatmeal to Twintree Campgrounds today. It was a day of unbelievable excitement and beauty with a sense of awe at the wonder of it all. It's been a long day and I'm exhausted but in a most pleasant way. There are porcupines and I must remember to hang my pack or they will chew on it. I can sleep without the tent fly. Of the nine nights I've had the campground to myself seven. It's wonderful solitude, lonely at times. I talk to the trees, the water, the mountains and the valleys. It's great! The campground is here at the north end of the lake where the water exits to the river.

Beautiful Twintree Lake. I'm looking back south from which I've come today. That's up valley. Time for another crunch of trail mix and some water and most pleasantly a break from the pack.

From the same spot looking north, down valley, to the end of Twintree Lake where the campground is. It's still a bit of a hike.

Now. Are those two views food for the soul or what?

I wake up at Twintree to threatening rain clouds. I'm back in drizzle and cloud and more bush. It's depressing. It is a short hike to Donaldson Campground which I enjoy after my long day to Twintree. But it is so gray I don't take any pictures for almost two full days. This is the Chown Creek Campground. With all the rain, the water level is high. I am worried it might wash out the bridge forcing me to return the way I've come. Not a pleasant possibility considering I am well beyond the half way point. I monitor the water level. It is going down. Thank you.
