Day 133 9/25 21.5mi.

We started going even higher up in the morning to about 7000 feet. There were great views again today without much smoke.

Just after we crested the high point on the trail and started back down we walked past a pretty good sized lake still frozen over for the most part!! It was kinda in a bowl facing north so the sun never hit it to well, that was something exciting and unexpected!

We made sure to take lunch in a spot with sun nearby so we could lay out our tents and sleeping bags to dry, they got quite wet from the thick fog the night before.

Near the end of the day we got to a junction of an old PCT route that required two log crossings over gushing rivers. Or a new PCT route over a brand new bridge that had just been constructed last summer. We chose the old more exciting route over the log crossings. We did the first crossing, which wasn't to bad, as it was getting dark and then camped right next to the river for the night.
