Lots of interesting people on the trail today. Rosalie and Walter are from Bonn, Germany. They have been coming to the USA for the past 5 years to section hike the pct. They day hike and always hike out and back. So far they have completed 1000 pct miles.
Dr Jay is from Sacramento and hiking a big section from Mojave to Burney Falls. He’s hiking 40 miles per day to get to Burney by Friday. I told him to look for PocoLoco and Spirit.
Big miles today in the same area that I hiked my first 30 in 2009. Doesn’t seem like a big deal this time.
Camped with Atlas and Turkey Feather. I’m cowboying. I picked up my bug proof bivy when i went home. It’s making it possible for me to not pitch my tent even when the mosquitos are bad….. like tonight.
