TRT Day 8 – 6/9/15
17.9 miles to just past hwy 89
Free Range, Cindy and John
Coffee and gourmet breakfast. What a way to start the day. We finally started hiking at 10:15. We crossed paths with another 15 PCT hikers and of course we had to talk to each one.
Constantly changing clouds made for dramatic skies. The forecast was 80% chance of rain. Several times we thought we were going to get dumped on. But except for a couple of sprinkles nothing happened.
We are still on the PCT and it it's way prettier than I remember
Late in the day I found a morel mushroom. Wired and Rockin’ laughed at my excitement but then helped me find more. My mosquito headnet suddenly became a multi use item.
Shaggy Mane (Coprinus comatus).... I think!
I am so proud of my haul. When I got home I weighed it.... 1.4 lbs.
We are now camped near hwy 89 in a surprisingly great spot. Flat, pine needles, cell service, sort of a view and 22.3 miles from the end and our cars.
Wired going for the perfect pitch.
Rockin and I split this HOT meal. Thai Style coconut curry with beef. Delicious.
Our last camp. FLAT and heavenly.

What a great hike! Thanks for sharing. Stop by Honker Pass some time, we’d be glad to see you.
Thank you. I would love to come by sometime. I’m leaving for Alaska next week. Are you there in the fall?
Did you eat the morel mushroom you found?
Yes. We ate them once we got back to my house in Sacramento. Delicious!
