July 27, Day 99: 1560.4-1586.1
Miles Hiked: 25.7
Gratitude of the Day: I’m thankful for a great nights sleep and Advil.
What a wonderful night of sleep. I slept in today until 7am and then took my time getting out of camp. Since I had a picnic table I made the most of it making hot coffee and eating breakfast. Surprisingly, my legs felt good this morning. I left camp at 8am to start my day. Today I got to walk thru the Trinity Alps Wilderness, it so reminds me of the Enchantments of Washington state. So beautiful and today there was a chill in the air, cloud cover and just south was a dark rain cloud. The rain never caught me, and I enjoyed the nice views and cool weather.
By lunch I’d hiked 13 miles, or half of my planned day. I stopped to enjoy lunch by a spring for an hour and then pushed on to get the last 13 miles done for the day. The last 6 miles were brutal as the trail truly roller coasters up and down, now my legs were tired and I was just annoyed. I finally reached camp by 7pm and set up camp for the night. There’s a chill still in the air and I think it’ll be a cool night tonight.
