Big planned detour!

Robert picked me up Cascade Locks and took me to Portland where we did some shopping then stayed with Sprinkles parents.

Got some goodies at REI including a pillow! I’ve been using my cloths bag with a buff I’ve it for a while but now it’s starting to cool off at night so I’m using more of my cloths. This new pillow will be a great treat for the last couple hundred miles.

We flew out to Denver the day before Lindsay and Tyler were to get married, and had a nice time bouncing around down town. I got a manicure last minute to cure hang nails after I realized I left my first aid kit at Katie and Bob’s in my pack.

The morning of the wedding we had a great spa morning and then went to the Botanical gardens that afternoon for the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception that didn’t skip a beat in the afternoon thunder storm.Baca selengkapnya

I’m not sure if it can be called an early rise if you basically don’t sleep. After a long day yesterday and finding a safe but undeveloped place to sleep on a bed of gravel, my air pad decided it would neither hold air or provide padding.

I tossed and turned on the hard and lumpy ground until my alarm went off.

Ran/walked the last 9 or so miles to Crater Lake and met my parents and Robert. Got a shower, picked up my resupply package, and had some breakfast.

Spicy and Bonco joined as we went down to the lake and looked around

Picked up Menace before heading north. We stopped in Chemult for lunch, dropped off Menace and picked up a few more hikers then went to Shelter Cove. Robert hiked in to the Middle Rosary Lake where we camped for the night and found a hole to patch in my air pad.

Resupply day! After doing all my shopping yesterday, I repackaged all my food, packed up 3 boxes and have food handled for the rest of the state.

I pack my daily food into separate bags, then supplement with food that I eat throughout the resupply.

Each day of food contains:
One breakfast bar,
One snack bar (not protein, not candy)
Two protein bars
Two packets of meat (tuna or spam usually)
Three packets of fruit snacks
One ramen
Two candy bars

Approx calories: 2100

I supplement this with:
Two bags of chips (crushed up and eaten with a spoon)
A bag of pepperoni sticks
A bag of m&ms
A bag of hi chews

I’ve learned from other hikers that it’s important to be able to scratch any itch you have while on trail. Something sweet, something salty, something fruity, something fatty. Especially in this heat, it’s super important to eat the calories I carry so making things as tasty as possible is a must!Baca selengkapnya

It’s bitter sweet to announce I’ve done my first flip of the trail.

I got a ride with Evon and a few other hikers from Quincy, CA to Medford, OR.

A quick stop in Chester to grab coffee and pick up a new sleeping pad, then a long drive through the mountains, to I-5, around mt. Shasta, across the boarder to Oregon and then to the Medford Airport.

(Oh and used my long carries Costco card to gas up Evon’s car)

Taking a day or two to put together my Oregon resupplies then will get back to it!Baca selengkapnya

Town day! Hero-ed Kennedy Meadows North. Had a beautiful 7 ish miles to get to 108 Sonora Pass.

We got a ride down to KMN Resort, which isn’t really a town but is a dude ranch/outdoors resort. It is a very common stop for PCT hikers as it splits Mammoth and Tahoe.

I was quite happy with the offerings and prices, a surprise for me since things have been a bit bare and expensive lately.

Got a shower, laundry, and shuttle arranged before having a hearty breakfast of steak and eggs with Spicy, Hatchet and Kidnapper.

The resupply was missing some of my staples like ruffles chips and hostess treats, but they had spam packets and tuna in sunflower oil, two essentials that smaller resupplies often do not have.

By the time I was repacking my resupply, the morning shuttle had dropped off a load of hikers. It was very hectic and overwhelming.

At stop’s pass, I’ve felt like I’ve known most of the people around but since the Sierra, people have naturally shuffled with different paces, so I know fewer faces.

Up early today. The goal is to get within range of Sonora pass, and get some of the limited camping before it’s all taken.

10x10 on the dot passing through the last meadows/marshes for a while. Hopefully the last of the mosquitoes for a while too.

Oh and mile 1,000!!!!

The terrain largely dried out by lunch, so I didn’t have to wear all my bug gear for the first time in a few days. My skin is glad to air out.

Did 20 miles by 3:30, a good sign for the upcoming sections.

Shorted day today with a lux late start.

Short day is to accommodate Kennedy meadows north in 2 days. The goal is to Hero, which is to in and out a town in one day and not stay over night.

I’ve done this before but didn’t know it was a term.

The mosquitos are very bad.

2 passes today: up and over Benson Pass and up Seavey Pass.

I do not recommend Piute Creek. It was cool descending into a deep dark foresty valley full of ferns. But the mosquitoes destroyed my legs. Things weren’t better on the ascent either.

15 bites on my left shoulder, several on the rest of my arms and probably upward of 50 on each leg. I’m taking allergy meds to help reduce the swelling.

Town day!

Back so soon, we packed for 5 days between Lone Pine and Bishop but did it in 3. It’s great that the snow wasn’t an issue but it’s a bummer we carried so much extra food.

We did most of the Kearsarge Pass side trail this morning and made it down to our 9am shuttle to Independence.

Had coffee with some new folks, Maddy, Dr Cool, Rook and Tank before the bus ride from there to Bishop.

Did laundry, caught up with some other folks, and hit the hayBaca selengkapnya

2 month Trailiversary!

Forester Pass was the goal of the day.

We hiked 6 miles to the approach fretting the whole way about what we would encounter. Luckily the conditions were nearly perfect. We were able to skip some of the switch backs at the bottom and follow some boot tracks up the snow.

The chute, a notoriously dangerous section, was slightly snowed over, but it looked like somebody had gone up with a shovel and carved out a footpath so it was easy breezy. The top represented beautiful views as expected. And we were able to glissade half the way, and skip all the switchbacks on the north side. I even practiced flipping over to self arrest. Fell a little on the stand but it felt good.

Hiked through the next valley then up to the Kearsarge Pass junction.

We did a little less than a mile on that trail before camp.

Day 60-61 (Mt. Whitney)
9–10 Jun 2024, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Early rise to hike the 10 miles to Crabtree Meadows (off of 767.5) to stage for Whitney. It was a pretty section of forested Sierra to get there.

I rolled in around 11 am to find meadow and woods full of tents; some with sleeping hikers, some with no poles, just flat on the ground while their occupants slack packed the peak. (Slack packing is when you hike without all your gear because someone will shuttle it ahead or you are doing an out and back)

Had some dinner around one then went to sleep by 2. Slept on and off all “night”

Alarms went off at 10 pm, and we were on trail by 11. We opted not to fully slack pack so that we could avoid the extra river crossings to get back. We did however stash our bear cans and most of our food near the exit trail head.

We hiked without the light of the moon, so had a great view of the stars and had to use our headlamps the whole time.

The climb started getting hard around 13,000 feet for me. But after slowing down I caught my breath and pushed a bit slower. The trail was largely dry with some significant patches of snow for which I put my spikes on.

The summit was very cool. The shelter was only mostly full of snow, and the wind blocks did their job.

We got there about 40 min before sunrise and bundled up with everyone at the top in our quilts while we waited.

It was absolutely beautiful.

The climb down went quick, and with each step I felt stronger as the air got thicker.

We rested for several hours the hiked a few more miles to make tomorrows approach more manageable.

Town days!!

Got a ride from Kurt down to Lone Pine. In our opinion a much nicer place to rest before the bulk of the sierra than KMS.

Lone Pine was the set for something like 450 movies over the years. Mostly old westerns, but most recently car commercials and the first Ironman.

We updated some gear, did our resupply, and did as many chores as we could on day one.

I had my REI backpack shipped out and it arrived Friday. I was able to send my Durston home so I didn’t have to junk it!

Also got new shoes.

Had some good food, connected with Rambo and Sniffer as well as some other folks.Baca selengkapnya

Really got a move on starting the Sierra. Passed an official PCTA trail register on the way out of camp.

Large meadows that looked green up from a distance but was very scrubby up close.

We had lunch next to a bridge with tons of swallow nests under it.

Camped around 724

Day 56
Pushed to get to Cottonwood Pass trailhead to camp

Passed some soaking pool streams that Spicy said were all but dry in 2022.

Saw several bristlecone pine trees. The oldest living things on the planet. They look like they are from a different age. Some are up to 4,000 years old. Not sure if we saw any that old but they are very cool.

Getting off trail let us see the Golden Trout Wilderness. It had some beautiful water and meadows on the way down.

Big day: the day before KMS. We wanted to set ourselves up for a full day there without having to camp.

It was quite hot and exposed. I was tired but we should have left earlier. I’ve been quite tired lately. But excited to see everything that is coming.

We had some longer water carries and some relatively small climbs. There were some nice rivers toward the end of the day where we did some trail laundry and bird baths.

Camped at 699.4

Today’s the day! Kennedy Meadows South, largely considered to be the end of the desert section of the PCT.

We were on trial just after 5:30 to walk the four ish miles to the Kennedy Meadows General Store. Traditionally, hikers gather on the large patio to eat and rest, and as a hiker approaches on foot everyone cheers.

We were the first hikers of the day and got a great clap:) 5Spice and Whopper were leading the excitement for our arrival.

Pancake breakfast and then gear and resupply. I got packages with bear can, ice axe, micro spikes and some new warm layers. I shipped some stuff back to Seattle and got a new hiking shirt after my grey one got holes in it from some critters a few days ago.

Burgers at grumpies and some drama with the shuttle back and forth, luckily, Kidnapper was willing to give some rides.

Hiked out just a few miles from town to camp. Somehow KMS was more restful than ridge crest was.

Pushed hard to get to walker pass. It was a rough night sleeping at the water cashe meant I was absolutely exhausted.

We picked a camp site that ended up being pretty unprotected. Pro tip for quilt users: arrange yourself with feet to the wind if you can to avoid your quilt being a cold sail all night.

Original plan was to camp just outside of walker pad and in&out tomorrow. We ended up deciding we need a night in beds and pushed all the way to the pass.

Got a ride in with Fried Egg, he’s a digital nomad that is hiking the pct on weekends while his gf and friends do the full thru hike.

Got rooms at the American inn and had dinner at Kristie’s.

Slept in Ridge Crest

The next day we had breakfast at Kristie’s again, then went to a trail angels house. Had bbq tacos then walked to Walmart after figuring out the bus doesn’t stop at the town hall too no that way.

Resupplied at Walmart to supplement grocery outlet and the dollar store then caught the bus back to the pass.

We hiked out like 3 miles and packed out subway.

Long dry section today and tomorrow. 35 miles between reliable natural water sources.

We left camp where we had the last spring in a while at 2am to camp out before the heat.

Spicy found a deer skull that was pretty cool.

Made it to the water cashe 7 miles in before sunrise, then pushed to 15 miles in before 11.

Hiked through the heat very slowly and made it to the second cashe by about 4.

Long day, on trail just after 6 and then almost 10x10.

Long water carries today. 6 miles from camp then 20 miles from there with dry camping.

Full food and full water is definitely a challenge weight wise. I’m struggling to get my pack adjusted right. I’m almost maxing out my hip belt so it is difficult to sit the weight on my waist. I tried putting my foam pad around my waist to help add wiggle room on my hip belt.

We took a siesta for a few hours then pushed for camp. I had Annie’s mac for the first time of trail, and tried the protein version . I’m surprise I ate the whole thing!

Up and ready to go the 8 miles to the second highway into Tehachipe this morning. But that plan was generously foiled by the trail angel refilling the water cashe we slept next to. When he offered a ride to town, we took him up on it and were relieved to have a break from the sound of the wind in his car.

Had breakfast at Henry’s Cafe. Tux had made it to town the night before and he joined late after staying with a trail angel.

Rambo, Spicy Batman, Tux, Jenga and I then went to Walmart to get some snacks and do recon, then went to the park to chill for a bit before we go resupply and everything then head to the air bb

We hung out at a park for a while then resupplied and went to our double 0 location.

Fran gave us a ride. We had frozen pizzas for dinner🍕Baca selengkapnya

Tough start at about 8 on trail this morning. Hiked with Spicy and Rambo 6ish miles to the next water. It was still morning but already hot. At the stream we found a dozen or so sleepy hikers and joined them. Jenga was there too!

Of the four of us two plans emerged. Jenga and Rambo wanted to push miles in the afternoon and sleep at night, while Spicy and I wanted to siesta and push miles through the night. Knowing we have a town day tomorrow was both a relief and a stressor as we had 28 miles to go.

Spicy and I left around 4, did 8 miles to the next water cashe for dinner, then pushed 10 more to the next cashe arriving around 1am.

The moon is still close to full so it was easy hiking. There was one section that was washed out with 6 foot or so walls. There was a rattle snake down there. Definitely added some spice to the night!Baca selengkapnya

Very interesting day! We only had about 2.7 miles from camp to hiker town. Hiker town is usually a little spot where you can rent a tiny cabin, take 5$ showers and do bucket laundry. But today, it was so much more.

There was a film crew making some sort of project sponsored by Arrowhead water. They had put their logo all over everything, they covered the cost of all lodging and showers, and provided food and some free stuff.

The four of us got PCT tshirts which they shipped home.

We left around 6 or 7 to start night hiking the notorious aqueduct section. 17 miles across the flat, hot, exposed desert floor. We follow the aqueduct itself for several miles. Though the trail is technically just to the right nobo of the pipe we walk on top instead of on the road for the most part.

Got to camp around 2:30amBaca selengkapnya

Was up well before my alarm at Serenity this morning so decided to take one more shower before everyone got moving.

We broke camp and left our packs while we went back to the Cowboy Tavern for breakfast. It was all great and really hit the spot.

When we came back we ran the numbers and realized we are coming in a bit hot to the Sierras, and will get there earlier than we want at our current pace. While running through options we had a half day we just spent vortexed. Tux Spicy and I used some of the nail polish in the hiker box to paint our thumb nails, and Tux took a good nap in one of the hammocks.

I made trail sushi for lunch (rice with sugar and vinegar, with nori, tuna packet, mayo siracha and wasabi) and we had baked goods and soda from the resupply

We hit the road at about 1:30, finished the road walk and did 8 miles plus about 1.5 bonus miles for water.

Clouds rolled in as the sun was going town to make a very misty effect.

Woke up to a train sounding like it was headed straight for me as if we were sleeping on the tracks.

Broke camp under the clouds we hiked above yesterday, and found sooooo many earwigs on my tent 🥲

Hiked a quick 10 miles though an old star trek set to Agua Dulce and set up camp at Serenity Oasis, a newer hiker establishment.

They have showers, laundry and expone salt baths included in a nights stay. They also have a pretty great resupply!

We got burgers for lunch and Mexican for dinner. Big day food wise!
