I have saved myself from so many falls. All thru hikers do. Not today. I tripped and was down so fast. My face hit a soft pile of dirt….. right next to a big rock. One lens on my sunglasses popped out. There was a creek a half mile later. I washed my face and shirt. Luckily, no harm done.
I saw some interesting prints today….
I found a great place to camp near the top of a ridgeline. Great view. Slight breeze. And good cell phone service. I set up my tent to get away from the flies and mosquitos. Last night I was way too hot in my bivy. I am so comfortable…. washed off and bug free. Atlas joined me later and read me PCT – L posts of stupid but funny hiker feuds.
LOVE the purple flower, don’t know that I’ve seen it previously. That was a BIG bear paw. NICE ๐
Glad you survived the face first fall. That had to hurt ๐ฆ
