A blog of my hiking and mountaineering. I have hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and the Pacific Northwest Trail (PNT) and am working on climbing all of the Colorado 14ers.

Day 19-the next group
Today I hiked with new people. I met some other people in cajon pass at the McDonalds yesterday and it turned out they were leaving the same time as me. The first girl I hiked with for a while was named rachiopod. She walks pretty quick and has a light pack, but I managed most the day. Just behind her were the couple Goodness and Zim. We walked 22.5 miles and stayed at guffey campground today. But I have to say, the walk up was so amazing. We could see forever in almost every direction as we approached 8000 feet. There are snow patches here where were staying, and it's cold and windy. Tomorrow I may go into wrightwood for the day then try to some more miles done during the evening. Il decide tomorrow. After we had made a fire gnar, dumptruck, tenderfoot, dreamcrusher, and Hans all showed up. We all had a little hiker party until we got too tired around 10. I have a feeling I will get a trail name soon. The sadest thing on the trail so far is that I'm still carrying a 3 pound jar of peanut butter, and I don't even like that stuff. It been about 250 mikes of carrying it and I can't decide what to do with it. That is what I should think about while hiking. I think some pictures of the amazing views today are below. It was an amazing day!
