Day 118 – 8/23/11 – 31 miles (1948)

Quote from Yogi’s guidebook about this section, starting at mile 1780:
“Straight Jacket (2010): As soon as we crossed the highway, it was like walking into a wall of mosquitos. There were hundreds at a time all day every day. Carry DEET and a gun to shoot yourself with. As soon as I crossed the burn area right before Elk Lake (mile 1958), they disappeared and never came back.”

Here’s to supposedly only 10 more miles of this madness!
