Day 28

Mile 488.2 to mile 511.0

PCT Miles: 22.8 (36.5km)

Total Miles: 511 (817.6km)

Waking up at 5:30, leaving camp before 6, short and smart pauses. 10 before 10. Carrying just enough water to the next source.

Today I played the PCT by the book!

Yesterday, I forgot to mention: I provisionally fixed my tent (and my food bag) with the same tape I used to do bandages. When I get in town I’ll try to buy some proper tape.

I only saw two hikers (a couple) today during the whole day. When I arrived at the camping spot that I intended to spend the night though, there were more than 20 people camping there! Some of them are cowboy camping (camping without a tent, only sleeping mat and bag) because there’s not enough space. I found a little spot that literally only fits my tent (without the rain cover) further down the trail. Let’s see how it goes!
