Day 31: The First Month — Roadwalk 2 miles from Casa De Luna -> Mile 478.2 -> Mile 498.2 Today marks a full month on the Pacific Crest Trail. Since today’s 20 miles, while very enjoyable, were largely cruise-y, I figured
Days 27 and 28: Hiker Heaven — Mile 451.0 -> Mile 454.5 I woke up to my quilt soaked with condensation, but I didn’t worry. Today we hit Hiker Heaven, and though I had high expectations, the name stood up. After a
Day 25: The First 30 — Mile 389.2 -> Mile 420.8 We wanted to get into Hiker Heaven on Wednesday, June 5, so we had to slice put 65ish miles. We could do big miles on days 1 and 2 with
Day 23: Christmas In Wrightwood — Mile 364.3 -> Mile 369.3 -> Hitchhike into Wrightwood An easy 5 miles to the CA 2 freeway was our gateway into Wrightwood. Kacy (now Money Beets) asked a trail angel to give us a
Day 21: Cajon Pass — Mile 335.6 -> Mile 341.9 We hiked a quick 6 miles into Cajon Pass for the promise of McDonald’s breakfast, the last motel before Tehachapi (and the end of the desert), and a hot tub/pool.
Day 32: Wee Vill — Mile 498.2 -> Mile 517.6 Aside from incessant mosquitos, I slept great and woke up to probably my first beautiful sunrise on the trail. Today our plan is to hike down into the Lancaster valley

Day 26: The Next 30 — Mile 420.8 -> Mile 451.0 Today was fucking hot. With the off and on reception, I was able to check the weather and catch a forecast straight sun and low 90s all day. With our
Day 24: The First Summit — Mile 369.3 -> Mile 389.2 It’s getting hard to keep up with writing, so this will be a short post. Today we got out of Wrightwood by 10 AM, must later than we wanted to.
Day 22: Hazy, High, Guffy — Mile 341.9 -> Mile 364.3 Today’s hike was a doozy. We headed out of Cajon Pass into Guffy Campground just outside of Wrightwood. Our plan is to resupply tomorrow, watch the Champions League final, and
Day 20: Silverwood Lake Oasis — Mile 314.6 -> Mile 335.6 Another morning with condensation, but since it was a warm night I was comfortable. My quilt got soaked, though. Luckily we had an easy day ahead, and we planned a
