Hard Hiking - June 14th After 2 days and 2 nights of traveling by plane, shuttle, train, and bus from Georgia to Lone Pine, I finally found myself standing on the side of Horseshoe Meadows road just outside. With no cars, I was desperately trying to hitch a ride to the top. After a half-hour of staring at the empty pavement, a jeep followed by a car appeared in the distance. Both vehicles slowed and pulled over. I hopped into the car. My ride was a guy from LA...

A long fence with a broad swath of carefully plowed “no man’s land” between the fence and a metal border wall stretched in front of me. I was all by myself.

PCT Sierras, PCT Thru Hike / 14.09.2018

At mile 1087.3. Hiked 21.6 miles today. Today was my last full day of hiking so I took another PCT’ers advice to savor it.  The day was cool and breezy without the strong gusts of the last two days and the trail continued to be easy on the feet. Nice for the countdown to the end. Captain Travis on leave is hiking on the PCT in photo below. The the trail passed through fields of golden grass.The  And reds. Here is a lake that I think might be Blue Lake. About a mile before Carson...
