Day 75

Miles hiked: 17.7
Campsite: 1738
Weather: high 90s and sunny
One word to describe the day: pretzel sando

This morning we shipped some packages to Crater lake and elk lake resort. We got another ride from Daryl, the trail angel, up to the trailhead. Started hiking around 11:00. It was quite hot so I was moving slowly. I remembered to pack out a good item for lunch, a pretzel bun sandwich. 🥪 We did get 17 miles in today which I think is pretty good! About 1 mi out from camp I walked out to some trail magic on a gravel road! It was put on by a lovely couple who has done various section hikes on the PCT. They were a wealth of knowledge about Ticks and mosquitoes. They do work testing for various diseases in the area and keeping the mosquito levels down. They had all sorts of yummy snacks and beverages. I went for a cookie, poppy seed muffin and Doritos 🤪 I love when I stumble upon unexpected trail magic. It's such a nice boost. Going to bed listening to the sounds of coyotes howling 🙂Lue lisää
