DAY 84, Sun., Jul.20: 23.6 mi. TOTAL 1750.2

Coordinates: N 42 deg. 09.971', W 122 deg. 27.832': Short walk today and now I'm at Hyatt Lake Resort, a small, in-the-middle-of-the-woods fishing camp just east of I-5. I ate a huge dinner in a restaurant and picked up a few snacks for tomorrow. My plan is to take a zero day at Crater Lake. I haven't had a zero for a while and I can use a day off.

When I started planning this trip, I took time to "guess'timate" how many days it would take me to complete the 2,650 miles. I am happy to report that I am right on target - today is my 84th day and I marked my data book back in April to be 84 days at mile 1750.

The trail past Crater Lake will follow the Cascade Mountain range right up into Canada. Looking forward to what lies ahead,
keep hiking,
Greybeard

Congratulations Carl on making it thru California! Doesn't sound like you came down with any "California blues." I wish you the best of luck thru Oregon.

A great accomplishment just getting that far and to be right on the money where you'd thought you would be!!

You must have accounted for a couple of "wrong ways" when you made your guess'timate' HA

Great job Carl!
