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 94- late start
Well I stayed around for breakfast with the redneck hippies from Eugene. When I told them that that is what they are, they loved it. They also enjoyed my stories. I waited for breakfast and then ate as much as possible. Sadly it took me until noon to get my fill leaving me very little time to get closer to mckenzie pass. I still got in 27 miles, the most possible with the daylight I had. Tomorrow I need to do 30 by 430 so my old roommate lucas's family can pick me up. I am not feeling great today, and I am nearly positive it is due to all the junk the Eugene party crew fed me. I can't imagine 3 hot dogs for breakfast is a very smart idea. Well I packed out an orange and a sandwich and not far down the trail when I was setting up my solar charger, the mophie external battery for my phone broke and is a bit useless. I have no way to charge my phone. I had an amazing shepherd pie for dinner. I was almost too tired to cook, I was up late last night and I have to get up early again. The Mosquitos are a bit better, but their bites hurt and itch more now it seems. I believe I have killed more Mosquitos than the miles I have walked. as a result of the large number of Mosquitos, my legs feel like lego pieces with bumps over every square inch if them (all bites). It's not the most fun hiking with all the mozzys, but its pretty flat and easy.
