PCT Miles: 32.4 (51.8km)
Total Miles: 1235.9 (1977.4km)
Since I didn’t use the rain fly on the tent I could feel the wind in the early morning. It was the first time on the PCT that this early breeze was warm.
During the day my thermometer went up to 41°C and I could feel it. Today I drank 12 liters of water and could drink more right now, but I have to save water because tomorrow the day starts with a 16 miles stretch without water and I have only 3 liter with me.
I took 2 longer-than-average one hour breaks, at 10am and at 15am, close to the water and under the shade. I cameled up 2 liters of water on each break.
I’m getting more and more confident that, mile-wise, I will be able to be in Old Station’s post office by Monday morning. The problem is that I’ve been eating a lot and I might need to either start rationing my food on the coming days or stop in a town to do a mini-resupply before grabbing my package 📦 in Old Station.
