Posts about hiking in SoCal on the PCT
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
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
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
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
