June 30th
Total mileage: 1002.8
Today’s mileage: 21
Dorthy Lake Pass. Two fords that required taking shoes and socks off. Yogi’s guide was right. Mosquito hell.
Again, this was the trail:
Early in the morning:
Howly and Fancyfeet reached our campsite goal for the night before me, and it was a good feeling when I rounded a corner and could just make out a roaring fire about a 1/4 mile ahead of me. They had also kindly gotten extra water from the previous source. We all ate vegan chili that I had brought from home. There was a large tent nearby with a couple giggling and making other joyous sounds and we thru-hikers had fun looking at each other like old curmudgeons, marveling beneath our breaths how they could possibly have such cheery dispositions and secretly plotting to undue their tent poles. But we behaved, hehe.
Happy 1000th! Simply amazing!
Woohoo! Way to go. Keep up the good work. I am enjoying the blog. Not to give bad news but the bugs have been horrible here in Nebraska this year (mosquitoes, ticks, etc) hopefully it isn’t the same on the trail for you.
Nice work!
Congratulations man, I’m really proud of you!
Congratulations, Cuz!!!
Most impressive. I’d like to proclaim my support with this song:

Mile 1000! Nice work!
Hey Husk – Way to go! Congrats on the great progress. It’s been so hot here that the mosquitos will all be fried by the time you hit Oregon. Stay hydrated and – I think I mentioned this before – EAT LOTS!
Great job on your 1000 miles! Now get to town and eat some cheeseburgers and french fries!!!
