Day 166: (9.54 mies) mile 2570.61 – 2580.15 Having pushed big miles the past week we were left with only 9 1/2 miles to the High Bridge Ranger Station. Here we would catch the 12:15 bus to the town of … Continue reading →

Day 165: (26.12 or 21.32 actual miles) mile 2544.49 – 2570.61 One would think that after over 2500 miles we would learn by now. Unfortunately the premise of wondering and wandering to “find out” still prevails, hence another shot at … Continue reading →

Day 164: (20.86 miles) mile 2523.63 – 2544.49 Last night we dared it to rain and slept without the rainfly on. We awoke to no dampness whatsoever, even though the campsite we created was nestled in a densely packed grove … Continue reading →

Day 163: (21.35 miles) mile 2502.28 – 2523.63 Another misty morning in the clouds. Everything outside our tent is damp. Is it going to rain we wonder? Not taking any chances we put pack covers on so we can quickly … Continue reading →

Day 159: (20 miles) Mile 2445.55 After a restful night’s sleep and awaking to miraculously non-swollen and/or sore feet we began our trek to rejoin the actual PCT and the rest of the thru-hikers.  As one might not think, we … Continue reading →

Day 158: (15 miles) Today was “shortcut” day.  I know we should have learned by now that “short cuts” don’t necessarily mean they’re “short” OR “easier”.  While this one lopped off 10 miles distance wise, it did not take 10 … Continue reading →

Day 157: (zero miles) Today was a relaxation day, with the exception of doing laundry and going through our resupply box.  As we had 4G service on our cell and WiFi at the hotel, a plethora of posts were added … Continue reading →

Day 156: (26.08 miles) mile 2375.92 – 2402 Woke up to pouring rain, and puddles outside where our packs were resting.  Not only was it wet, it was cold. We were surprised…and relieved to see that it had not snowed.  … Continue reading →
