He's really on his way! Wait, THIS doesn't look like mountains. Why isn't the trail headed UP? What does that sign say? City Park?! Oh, no..... I guess it IS the PCT! Go for it, Jay! |
I saw a turkey vulture roost today and lots of rabbits. I climbed through chaparral to the Laguna Mountains, an ascent of 3,000 feet over about 10 miles. It was a warm day, but the forest in the mountains was much cooler. All the creeks are flowing at this time, so there is plenty of water.
I had a close call with a cryptic silent rattler. As heart-stopping as their rattling sound is, I’d rather get the adrenaline rush from the sound than from the sight of a silent rattler too close for comfort!
I hiked the 21 miles in 10 hours today. Drank 7 liters of water and am feeling fine.
