I don’t plan on a daily post for the whole trail, but today was pretty eventful and memorable, so here it is.
Stretched my remaining water until Lake Morena. Seeing that lake was such a RELIEF!
I’m hiking at the same pace as a couple of other guys (Tuesday and Coconut – for those of you who don’t know, people get nicknames on the trail, called trail names), so we have been hanging out during breaks and camping together (no two people have the exact same hiking speed).
Hiked 11 miles today, so I’m at mile 26! I’m quite happy with that. I’m even more happy that as I eat my pack gets lighter and there won’t be another dry stretch for a long while, so I don’t have to carry as much water. Woohoo!
FIRST TRAIL MAGIC. At the campsite, there was a guy giving out refreshments to any hiker that came through. I partook in a snickers bar and some ice cold coca-cola. Yum. THANK YOU STEVE FROM BOULDER OAKS!!!
Great View (although I don’t think the selfie camera did it justice):

I did consider using Chacos, but I’m not sure if I would prefer blisters or stubbed toes! Thanks for the advice Sid 🙂
