New Valley Hills

Nero at Vermillion Valley Resort. Mosquitoes continue to make themselves known. Headnet a necessity.

VVR is a compelling resort, in hiker terms a vortex. They setup a tab for you, pay at end. Meals are $19-24 which is pricey. I had 4, and haven’t eaten so well since I left England. I chose to walk in and out instead of taking their pontoon ferry at $20 each way. I have the time to do the 6 miles each way because I mistakenly booked my motel accommodation in Mammoth for a day beyond my anticipated arrival.

Willem and Olga turned up late in the day, freezing cold from waiting 90 minutes in the storm for the ferry. We had a convivial dinner together trading trail stories and learning a little of each other’s life at home.
