Incredibly grateful to be offered accommodation at the beautiful Root-Stone lodge here in Idyllwild. Every campsite in town was full by the time I got into town. The lodge is offering PCT hikers aLes mer

San Jacinto
13. mai, Forente stater ⋅ 🌬 9 °C
San Jacinto looked like a little speck in the distance yesterday (see second photo). Now, all of a sudden, there she is, looking very close by.
Rough night, pretty morning 🌄

A new milestone out here, my first bad day. The elevation was endless, the wind was cold and strong. My tent fell down three times in the night but thankfully nothing is broken. The wind has easedLes mer
Snails pace
14. mai, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C
Today was painfully slow going. The side effects of my altitude medication really knocked me around. Fingers crossed for a better day tomorrow. At least the views were epic as I struggled my wayLes mer
ReisendeNear constant peeing 😅 Between the tent falling down and the bathroom stops, I was up 9 times in the night. I was exhausted and probably severely dehydrated the next day
San Jacinto summit

Back on form today. A much better day ☀️

My first rattle snake experience 🐍
16. mai, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
He didn't rattle until I was right next to him. I jumped and gave us both a fright. He continued to rattle at me as I hastily made some distance between us
