Good morning! I'm heading out this morning!
The upcoming section of trail is closed due to a past fire. The powerhouse fire they call it. The reroute consists of a 12.5 mile road walk, then a short trail up to meet the pct again. Then it's 23 miles to Hiker town.
I managed to escape the seduction of pancakes for breakfast and just had a couple cups of coffee. I packed up my stuff, again, and put my pack in the front yard, I'm making progress!
When it was time to go it was Javelina, Unicorn, Charlie and I loading into the van to be driven back up to the trail head. I'm amazed by how many people are skipping the road walk and are being dropped off at the 23 mile section or are just going to hiker town!  I believe the road walk is 2 miles shorter than the section of pct we can't hike, there is a shoulder to walk on, it's not that bad. I'm sticking with my continuous foot path to canada, maybe that's also why I'm falling behind! I keep doing all the reroutes!
We stopped close to lunch time at a restaurant and had a quick meal, then continued on. A few miles from the end I was ready to be off the road and back on trail, cars are noisy.
We all decided to take it easy today and camp at a small abandoned campground where the trail from the road meets the pct. It was nice to settle in before dark and cook our dinners together. It has been strangely cold for this hot section, but I am not complaining! After dinner I bundled up and headed to my tent.
