Lassen Hike - Day 2

Day 2 starts. Pack up everything and ready to go. We will hike till we find a place where we can get some water.

Finally, we arrived at beautiful lake. We decided to take a lunch break here while securing drinking water.

Using water filter, we pumped out enough drinking water for upcoming hike. Peter usually requires us to maintain 2 litter of water per person to carry. Keep drinking water while hiking is the key to avoid dehidration which usually results in exhaustion.

Captain Peter is resting after nice lunch. Captain is also responsible team's food supply. He brought really tasty salami and cheese from Whole Foods.

After lunch, we kept hiking to the target point. It was very hot and team was very exhausted. Though we could hike longer, considering the exhaustion of team members, we decided to set up a camp early afternoon. It was again beautiful night with full moon nearby lake. We could hear animals walking nearby lake during night. We have not sighted bear yet...
