Up, up , up I hiked. Holy crap. Brutal is the best way to describe this hike. The last three miles were in the pines and wee not too bad but still climbing. I saw my first rattle snake. Had to be four feet long and 3-4 inches around. He slithered off as I approached. More bees too. Lots of bees. Sounds like a race car in the distance. As the swarm moves along the hills the sound travels right along.
I'm sitting here waiting for Mindi to drop my re-supply box and a pizza for eats. Sounded good when I asked for it. Now not so much. All of a sudden I feel like crap and just want to lay down and sleep.
I'm contemplating taking a zero day tomorrow (no hiking) to give my blisters and feet a rest. Spending two nights up here can't be all bad.
Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2012; my personal observations; inspired by the world around me as I hike along the trail. My own revelations; thoughts; snippets of wisdom; random insanity; blunt honesty. I hope in some small way to be insightful; or not so much. Some laughter, a few tears, but mostly just... ME. The thoughts, views and comments written here are mine alone and written from the beliefs I have developed from the observations, actions and words of others.
