Mile 465.6 to mile 488.2

PCT Miles: 22.6 (36.2km)

Total Miles: 488.2 (781.1km)

Something that I knew that inevitably was going to happen (and for sure will happen again), but you always hope that it just doesn’t happen: I had my tent invaded by rodents during the night!

I only found out this morning, because of the huge hole on the net of my tent and also on my food bag. Apparently they went for trail mix, not much of a loss, but this is definitely not the best way to start the day.

I was telling this story later in the day while having lunch with Lizard, Spider and Peaches 🦎🕷️🍑 (the only three people that i’ve seen during the whole day) and Lizard said that two nights ago she had a mice in her sleeping bag! I prefer a thousand times to share my food from time to time with the little thieves. From now on my food bag stays outside the tent. At least next time my tent doesn’t end up with another hole ⛺️🕳️ .

I have 78 miles between me and my next resupply (in Tehachapi) and I have just enough food for 4 days (and 3 nights). I’ll try to do big miles in the coming 3 days so I can arrive in Tehachapi on Friday as early as possible and eat in town.
