[pct-l] Sky Lakes Wilderness

[Deems]

I had a great 50 mile hike last weekend from Hwy140 to Crater Lake. I only 
met 4 people, 3 were day hikers and one was the incredibly beautiful and 
spirited Spiderwoman. She was nearing the end of her 2009 thruhike of the 
PCT, finishing in a few days at Ashland. She was a great moment on the 
trail, and as always, there's never enough time to share when meeting the 
thruhikers focused on their hike and daily miles, but I did get a photo and 
a memory. The weather was perfect, sunny days and cold nites, the scenery 
was incredible, and I did click a few nice photos. I hiked the old PCT 
Oregon Skyline trail by Island Lake, Sky Lakes Basin, and by Stuart Falls. 
These alternates were the best parts of the trip for me hiking by beautiful 
lakes on historical trails, and gave me easy access to water along the 
basically dry PCT ridgeline path, and it only added 2 miles. Here's a few 
photos I clicked.
