Mount Laguna to mile 63.7
PCT Miles: 22.2 (35.5km)
Total Miles: 63.7 (101.9km)
I don’t remember the last time I slept so well! 8.5h of continuous sleep! On top of that, I had pizza for breakfast 🍕🤤! Perfect start of the day!
I started hiking at 6:30 and a few minutes later, I heard someone behind me calling my name. It was Max, the french dude that I hiked with on the first day.
We hiked together for the whole morning. By 10am we had hiked already 10 miles. 10 before 10! We kept this pace until 12:30 when we stopped to eat. After one hour or so I left Max behind and kept hiking for 3 more hours until I found a quite crowded campsite. It’s going to be my first night wild camping on the PCT! It’s crazy windy over here up the mountains 🌬️⛰️ !
Tomorrow it’s going to be a challenging day. I want to hike 21.6 miles to get a better campsite. The problem is that there’s only one water source. But they say sometimes magic happen on that stretch to provide water. We’ll see! 🪄💧
Because I finished the day early (and I don’t have internet!) I’m listening to music for the first time since I arrived in San Diego!
Oh, also, I found out today that I have a blister. I’m calling her Bloopu. Short for Blood Pudding.
