Today was yet another day of hiking 🙂. A few highlights, in no particular order:
Most of the day was spent walking towards I-10 highway - mostly downhill. You might see the highway in the far-off distance. But more interestingly, saw this patch of green in the middle of all the brown. A small community called Snow Creek…ironical since I doubt there ever see snow 😀
These were the group of hikers who were all taking their break in the small area of shade under the rock. I was also there where the guy in the blue is sitting. Everybody squeezed in as close to the rock as possible to escape the heart. To the extreme right is a water faucet provided by the local water company, as a service to the hikers when natural water sources are far apart.
Below was trail magic under the railway bridge, next to I-10. Normally this would be a place nobody would go to, but for PCT, it was heavenly with water and even a bowl of fresh fruit, which a couple of us polished off. As you might guess, fresh fruit & veggies are non-existent on the trail.
My tentsite - it was very windy through the night
Btw, remember the tent pole issues. I sent an email to the company and the owner responded within a couple of hours with the tracking number of the replacement poles sent to the PO of the next town I will be stopping in. That's customer service at the highest level!
