Aug 26th - Bonked at Crater Lake NP
Feeling very, very, very weak as I slack-packed up the 4-1/2 mile climb to the crater rim. Met Sybille at Crater Rim Village and decided I had to stop hiking for the day -- Totally Bonked. It was probably a bad idea hiking long mileage the last three days while still sick with giardia. I think I burned through all my reserves. Several hikers, including Pacemaker, said I lost a lot of weight in just the last week and I feel drained. So, I take an easy day and enjoy Sybille's company. We did the Rim Village Tourist views and museum and then the full driving tour around the Crater Lake. Had a nice lunch and a nap at the Vidae Falls picnic area. We spent the night at a hotel and watched movies. My first night in a bed since South Lake Tahoe.
