We took a zero in Agua Dulce to wait out the last hot day. We didn't have many chores to do. We did laundry. We fixed the tent zipper again (replaced the zipper pull). We picked up some packages we had shipped there at Serenity OASIS. My new shoes and Replacement sleeping pad for Natasha. … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 53 Agua Dulce zero

PCT 2025 Day 52: to boldly go.. to Agua Dulce
Kristan gave us a ride out at 8am and back to the trailhead. She was professional and on time. Since last night (both last night and this morning) a competing trail angel was trying to poach her rides. Shouting over the fence talking to hikers. Offering to buy them coffee. I told him we had … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 52: to boldly go.. to Agua Dulce
PCT 2025 Day 51: lights camera Acton!
Man. It was hot. One thing I liked about today was the pretty flowers again. Bees still busy pollinating. We walked and could see some really neat rock formations. It got me thinking about how wonders of nature are independent of belief and background. We started in CLEEF with someone who was speaking about how … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 51: lights camera Acton!
PCT 2025 Day 50: ranger ranger Will Robinson
We started at our camp by the dirt road. And were gifted a low passing helicopter. Secret has been super into helicopters and air planes on the whole trip. This was so cool! The day was nice. Definitely hot at times but generally pleasant. I'm still loving the flowers. Lots of bees. We passed a … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 50: ranger ranger Will Robinson
PCT 2025 Day 49: Didn’t see the firefighters
Today we hiked to the day use area by the fire station and of course Secret looked at the fire station. I was hoping he could see the fire fighters but it was too early. We heard they might greet hikers and point out where to get water at the day use faucet. It was … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 49: Didn’t see the firefighters
PCT 2025 Day 48
Well I don't think I should have played kitty last night. My back today hurts so bad. I had to take advil and extra strength Tylenol last night to finally get some sleep. Today is one of those hard kids days. Both secret and I were tired. He was trying to get my attention all … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 48
PCT 2025 Day 47: still Cruisin
Today was generally another positive and good day. We hiked around 10.5 miles. We had a nice camp at a creek last night. But we had a lot of condensation. I picked a spot further from the water but it made little difference. The morning had its hard points. Mostly Secret putting his shoes on. … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 47: still Cruisin
PCT 2025 Day 46: road meet walk
Last night I did slide. I slid in the corner of the tent and since it was pitched low the wall was right on top of me. I woke at midnight with the tent wall pressing on my face over my mouth and me stuck in the corner with the wind blowing on my face … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 46: road meet walk
PCT 2025 Day 45: here poodle poodle
The morning was beautiful. Our camp was miserable last night when we got in the tent but it's amazing this morning. Our tent is dry and it's beautiful. The morning was sunny and pretty. We kept on the ridge and the walking was easy. Lil Flier napped in the carrier as I carried her on … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 45: here poodle poodle
PCT 2025 Day 44: Baden Powell
We left the airBnB at 751am in a rush to meet Dale at 8 am for our ride at the hardware store. Hard to leave that place. It was very nice. Secret cried and said goodbye to the giant stuffed bear that was there. They were inseparable since we arrived. Dale is cool. Very fair … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 44: Baden Powell
