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 19- memories
I woke up to rain. That is never a good sign and always requires extra work while hiking to keep everything dry. I packed up ate the ration I had for breakfast and set out. I have been feeling like I have some form of the flu with a decent fever and the inability to eat much. I try to force things down but it's an issue. I also and running out of fuel for my stove and out of no cook meals. That aside today I walked twelve miles along the pacific crest trail and it was amazing. It is the terrain my dad and I hiked over the last day on the trail and it was pretty cool to see it again. I passed holeman pass, devils staircase, Hopkins lake, and finally turned off the PCT at castle pass. I believe that is only a couple miles from the very end too. I remembered nearly all of the terrain from three years ago too. The rest of the day was spent navigating with a swollen ankle, cut up hand, and debilitating fever but I pushed on with the allure of town in the future. I made it to the pasayten river and am so tired I even gave up trying to swat Mosquitos. Hopefully I can get some real food down tomorrow, or else I surely will begin to run out of gas. I am not even sure where the real trail is anymore, I have just been walking along the river.
