As I mentioned yesterday, today I had to climb 3000 feet. The PCT kicked my rear!
I started packing up at 5 AM, and was on the trail by 6:15. It's taking me way too long to get ready to go.
An interesting sign along the way warns about explosives that were lost and are likely to explode if you find them.
I must have seen over 100 lizards.
The reward for getting to the top of the climb was to be in a forest of pine trees.
There have been some very pretty flowering desert plants.
Some of the pine trees have giant cones.
I stopped at Burnt Ranchiera campground and had my breakfast – lunch – dinner and then headed on down the trail. Needless to say, I am exhausted.
I am camped at mile 46.4.
