Setting out at sunset to night hike the LA aqueduct, a very exposed and hot section of trail with no water.
Hiking through wind farms near the Mojave Desert.
Thousands of windmills.
One of the several places where the PCT passes through private property.
The repair job of a massive hole that I ripped in my sun hoodie.
Some trail magic in the desert.
“Watch out for mountain lion :)”. My friend Flo rounded a corner to find a huge mountain lion. He said by the time he realized what it was, it leaped 20 yards straight uphill in two strides.
Amazing sunrises every day.
The tan lines have reached a new level.
Mountains getting more dramatic as we approach the Sierra Nevadas.
700 miles down.
An example of one of the many trail registers throughout the trail. They are a helpful way of knowing which friends are in front of you vs. behind you.
Kennedy Meadows. An important PCT stop that marks the end of the desert section and the beginning of the Sierras.
Ug, the cat, sleeps on the counter all day long. First name Ug, middle name Lee.
Much needed calories.
Me and Moto. Moto was also bitten by a rattlesnake (and was also lucky to have it be a dry bite). He’s one of several septuagenarians that I’ve met on trail.
