Day 5 - Wednesday July 3, 2019

Ethan Pond Hut to Lake of the Clouds Hut - 14 Miles

Up early and out of camp so I could make it to Lake of the Clouds around 4:00.   The first 3 miles was easy downhill to US 302 but then the “fun” started.   The road is at 1266 ft of evelation and the Lake of Cloud hut is 5012.   Miles 4-6 was extremely difficult up to the Webster Cliffs.   The flies and mosquitoes have been really bad but I have a secret weapon (thanks Andy).   I met several hikers today but hiked with Paper-cut and Shedder most of the day.  It is so much more enjoyable to hike with others.   Good day we arrived at 4:30 and registered to do a work for same.  Well I didn’t get the work for stay so it cost me $10 to stay on the dining room floor.  It’s warm and has a bathroom so I’m ok with the floor.
