This morning we left our spot on top of hill. Right before I left we went for an *ahem* bathroom break and I saw a skink. The bright blue tail took me for a loop (our book doesn't mention that!) so I couldn't identify it until much later. Today we aimed for Green Valley. We … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 56: Green Eggs and BBQ
We woke with condensation on our quilt after cowboy camping. No biggie. Just need to dry it out sometime. Lots of people passing us today. Lots have passed us last night. The bubble in Agua Dulce is coming through. Despite it only being a day out of town, there were two trail angels that provided … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 55: magical
We left Agua Dulce at 4 pm to beat the heat today. We left Serenity OASIS early to hang out in town so we have access to food and wifi and air conditioning. We hung out at the Mercantile most of the day on their back patio, had cool drinks and snacks, charged our devices … Continue reading PCT 2025 Day 54: nearo out of Agua Dulce
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
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
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!
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
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
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
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
