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 111- where is mr sun
Another sunless day on the pct. In fact there were so many clouds I could not even find my own shadow. With no sun, there was lots of moisture and just walking made it feel like rain. My body is extremely tired. I think I am at the nearing the end of my 30 mile days. For sure after stehekin I will be dropping my mileage significantly. I met many section hikers today and they were very intrigued, and always asked if I needed food. I didnt want to take there food so I declined that but gladly answered all of their questions. I have decided that of the people I have met on the trail, Washingtonians are the nicest. The huckleberries are giant and a constant distraction but they are too sweet to pass up. Overall even though the weather was freezing, the clouds ruined the view, and I had to sport the long johns under my shorts look, it was still a decent 30 mile day.
