Day 2 (2/28): Seron to Refugio/Campamento Dickson (18 km, 11.2 miles)

I slept so great and after a delicious granola and apple breakfast, we were on our way to Dickson.

The trail passed beautiful streams (I hear the fishing is good here Dad!) and climbed one decent hill but then the rest of the trail was a flat and long but beautiful trail to Dickson.  Since we are on the backside that only those doing the full circuit access, we practically had the trail to ourselves as we met no one going the opposite way and passed just 2 other groups going our direction.  It was sunny and just wonderful!  

The best part of trekking here is that the river water is safe to drink and plentiful!  Some people trek with only cups and fill up as they go!

Two thumbs up to a great lunch spot!

We ate salami and cheese wraps on a beautiful perch overlooking Rio Paine and Lago Dickson which is fed by the Glacier Dickson.  The camp spot was on the end of the peninsula.

As it was a warm day, I decided to shower but the one with hot water didn't have a door so at least I accomplished laundry and a shower at the same time!  Pami and Ignacio arrived very late so we shared our fajitas and rice dinner with them as they still had to set up camp and it appeared rain was coming.  Unfortunately, just as we transitioned in to March, so did the weather and it rained all night.
