Today we hiked about 2,000′ up to the Mystic Camp by Mystic Lake over about 9 miles. The day was overcast, wet and again drizzly but most of the time we were in the forest so we didn’t get too soaked. But, putting up a wet tent in the rain, at the end of the day was not real fun! We had another creative meal of Pesto Chicken Sausage Pasta with Asparagus and Olives with fresh Cherry Tomatoes – what a treat! Then fresh pancakes for breakfast the next morning – how to get spoiled while backpacking, for sure.
