Day 91

Mile 1385.8 to Burney Mountain Guest Ranch

PCT Miles: 25.0 (40.0km)

Total Miles: 1410.8 (2257.3km)

The word on trail was that 25 miles ahead there’s a new guest ranch where the owners are super hiker friendly and they have a salt water pool 🏊‍♂️ plus homemade style dinner and breakfast. I wanted to check it out, but since I’m not taking a zero, I had to speed up so I could arrive there in time to enjoy all the things.

I started the day at 5:30am and hiked the 25 miles almost non-stop for 9 hours, only pausing to filter water once. By 2:30pm I was at the Burney Mountain Guest Ranch and at 3pm I was eating pizza and having a cold drink!

After 10 days I’m finally taking a shower and doing laundry! I also had plenty of time to enjoy the salt water pool and order my next resupplies to Ashland (I’ll write a post explaining my next resupply strategy when I’m there) and I’m sleeping on a bunk bed tonight 🛌! There are six other hikers staying here this night. For dinner we had burgers and tons of fresh salad and I already can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow!
