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 92- the midday swim
Waking up I had no idea I would have a relapse of the sierras. But in the year of snow, i should have known I would be seeing more snow. I had a couple miles of snow walking around the pct highpoint for Oregon and washington. I really had to search for the trail in some spots, but after coming this far I know I just have to fight through it. For some reason, all of today I was really tired. I think I need to start snacking more. Around 24 miles in i really hit the wall, I had to take a long break and just relax. But even when I started out again I was dragging. Luckily at this point there was a lake that I jumped in real quick despite the heavy clouds of hovering Mosquitos and that did the trick. I am camped 12 or so miles from willamette pass. Oregon is really flying by. Sadly the Mosquitos have really put a damper on the beautiful scenery.
