Crater Lake To Stanley, Day 2 : Discomfort

The kayak ride is fantastic, but after eight hours in the sun, and after ten hours from the previous day, my exposed hands have been burned red. I can tell from the dull throb that the damage is pretty severe. Thank goodness for the long-sleeved shirts and the hat.

Sunburns always exhaust me. Perhaps it’s just a correlation, between the hard work I usually do when I’m out in the sun, and the sun’s burning effect. But one way or the other it sucks. After I return my kayak, I wolf down some restaurant food and creep into my tent before the clock has even reached 8:00pm.
