Day 5 July 19.   Woke up at 6. Bath time, haha, with baby wipes. Cleaned up camp, took down tents, made breakfast, filled water bottles and loaded up our gear and headed out from Mesa Creek at 8:45. Next destination, Obsidian Creek. We stayed left on PCT, Linton Meadow trail. ONLY a 900 ft. elevation change, UP. Passed Sister Creek. Started to see the volcanic glass ( black obsidian). Mountain of it. Stopped at Obsidian Creek for a while, had lunch and soaked our blistered feet. Then on to Glacier Creek, elevation 6400 ft. Almost 10 miles today. Busy place, two tents already set up. We choose to camp near the creek. No Tents! Tarp and sleeping bags. More people came to camp, and lots of backpackers hiked by. Most couldn't believe we were going to sleep under the stars. We had a yoga class, did some stretching. Then dinner, doctered up our blisters with mole skin and duck tape then off to bed at 8:15. We decided to get up early, so we could have lunch in Sisters. Set alarm for 5am. Only 8.5 miles to go.
