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 42-into the sierras
We woke up to toms breakfast, as was usual and had our coffee with it. I put some finishing touches on this pack from the hiker box and got my stuff ready to go. One more game of washers and then we headed out. We left around 11 and 4 miles in learned we were hurting. Me and lil buddha began to feel our stomachs get a little queasy. It seemed we were some of the few that felt the minerals from toms faucet react with our stomachs. It was not fun. It was the hardest 15 miles of the trip by far and we (along with crew and his brother Justin) averaged under 2 miles an hour. after ten miles we came to a meadow and could see the sierras all snow tipped and off in the distance, it was amazing! Then after that it was a tedious 4 miles to camp where our Sierra group of probably 15 was waiting. I had a big dinner because I finally felt like eating. The Spanish rice and mashed potatoes were great. I am exhausted even from the short mile and going to get some recover sleep right next to this south fork of the kern
