PCT Thru Hike, PCT Washington / 27.07.2018

At mile 2188.5. Hiked 22.4 miles today. My leg felt better, but as a precaution I decided n’ont to push it too hard and to take more breaks. It was also very hot again in the middle of the day so I took a 3 plus hour break at lunch at Wind River with 2 river swims. When the sun dipped behind the trees I began a long climb until I reached a camping spot  sometime between 8 and 9 pm. There has been a variety of ferns. I liked...

PCT Thru Hike, PCT Washington / 27.07.2018

At mile 2166.2. Hiked 19.5 miles today.  I counted 17 PCT’r tents at Cascade Locks Marine Park Camp. Others stayed at the hotels. This is the I’ve seen in town since Warner Springs around mile 100. Some of the tents. My tent at Marine Park. Hiking out of town I saw this wind surfer made from driftwood. I was soon over Bridge if the Gods and in the state of Washington. With a late start, the hot day seemed even hotter. The trail passed through beautiful fern growth that at least gave the...

PCT Oregon, PCT Thru Hike / 23.07.2018

At mile 2146.7. Hiked 1.9 miles today. Today was a  sunny town day.With my tent a tent set up at  Marine Park Campground, I went about my chores. Everything is close together and convenient. There are 16 other hiker tents here with about half being southbounders (SOBO). I ordered new darn tough socks to be delivered by Amazon to Kracker Barrel in a couple hundred mile. I bought grocery resupply, showered, and I washed clothes. Here is the view of the Locks from my camp. Best view in town! I had one...

PCT Oregon, PCT Thru Hike / 23.07.2018

At mile 2144.8. Hiked 26.4 miles today. At some point today I decided to hike all of the way into Cascade Locks, but with 1.8 miles to go I  came across a good tent site next to a creek and decided it would be less hectic to stay there than to enter town late and try to get to the campground. I had considered motels, but the Best Western is $250 per night and other motels are not much better than camping. If a motel doesn’t offer a bathtub...

At mile 2118.4. Hiked 21.5 miles today. I got a late start after a morning visit to the Timberline Lodge to wash socks and charge battery. Being well rested after an easy day yesterday, the morning hike was as good as it gets. The walk had beautiful views, cool and pleasant weather, and an easily walked trail. The one mishap was when I slipped on very slick mud. One foot slid forward until I was nearly doing a split. My other leg bent at the knee until the knee...

PCT Oregon, PCT Thru Hike / 20.07.2018

At mile 2096.9. Hiked 7.4 miles today.  This morning I hiked a half mile and was at 1000 miles remaining to finish the PCT. I continued to Barlow Road where there was a picnic table and trash can. I rid myself of my hiker trash and proceeded across the road. I saw two trails across the road but could t find any PCT sign or marker. Checking my GPS, I saw that the trail did not quite cross the road right here. Following GPS I returned to the picnic...
