Skuleskogen National Park

Around three o'clock Olle picked up Maria at work and the car took us south. About two hours later we arrived at the south entrance to Skuleskogen National Park. The last 10 km was on bumpy gravel road. We got some drizzle on the car the final stretch, so we decided to dress in rain clothes and put the rain covers over the backpacks. But, in retrospect, that was the only rain we got this evening.
We walked about 1,6 km from the parking lot to Kälaviken. You are only allowed to camp at dedicated spots inside the national park, Kälaviken is one of them. This time of the year we were alone, but the sandy glade had room for more than ten tents.
We pitched the tent and started preparing the dinner. Surprisingly many mosquitoes around us, some have obviously survived the cold nights that are becoming more and more frequent. After dinner there wasn't much more to do than to move all the stuff inside the tent/apse. Already at 7:30 the darkness made it quite hard to see anything, so you could only hit the sleeping bag. We slept long before nine for once, which should give us a lot of sleep for the next day.
