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 79- gametime
Overnight my status for being on the trail today went from questionable to probable. My feet didn't get better, I just always feel better in the morning. I went to the trainer (me) and got taped up, tested it out and then told the coach (me) that I was good to go. For some reason I was mentally a lot better today too and the miles went by pretty fast. It was the end of the lame section that is basically made in order for us to rejoin I-5. Towards the end I did get into castle crag state park which was kinda cool. Then after I passed under I-5 and right at the border of castle crag I saw another black bear. This one was black instead of golden or cinnamon. It was also much smaller. When I did end up making camp after I had put in another 32 miles I decided to put on the apron and get out the oven mits. Despite the incredible number of Mosquitos, I was going to make bean burritos. Using some homemade beans that someone gave me because it was their extra food, an some tortillas, I cooked up the first meal my mom would actually be proud of. They tasted pretty good too. Tomorrow I have a day filled with lots of climbing. My phone has been on the edge of dying recently since my plug to charge it with the solar charger is warn out and when bumped it stops charging. So I can't charge it while walking anymore. I will try to conserve battery in order to keep my streak of not missing a day alive!
