ThanksDay 5: Lake Morena to Creek City- 15 miles
Total miles: 57
We said fairwell to Tom and the Mt Laguna lodge with clean clothes that smelled fresh all but for five minutes. About mile 8 we passed two downy smelling gentleman out day hiking. They genuinely commented on how fast we were going. If you know us then you know we exchanged confused glares cause fast has never been associated with us and physical exercise. Now after meeting those two gentleman we can say with utmost certainty we are fast hikers! Muahahaha.
We hiked the 15 to a small creek in a small narrow side canyon. It was oh so charming until Ben and I realized while setting up the tent that one of us was in the river bed and the other on a slanted slope. We were so tired that we decided a learning lesson this would make. Have you ever slept on a trampoline over night as a kid and hopefully an adult? If so then you know what we looked like in the tent the next morning. Two bodies pulled in by probably the weight of the dirt on our bodies. Oh to be young again!
You know you are ravenous when a box of couscus, package of tuna, cocunut oil, pita chips, and packets of del scorcho is literally all you have been thinking about since. Ladies and gents if you want to impress your families, friends, or coworkers alike that is what heaven in your belly feels like. A whole lot of hallelujahs were sang in Creek City that night.
