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 24- crickets
I left Orville after taking one last shower to cover the upcoming week. I swung by the local bakery for coffee, cookies and a cinnamon roll and moved on. I walked down the highway then started climbing on the whistler canyon trail with my fully stocked, heavy pack. I took some breaks along the way and consumed a lot of the jar of Nutella I am carrying because I have been craving it for a while. After the trail ended I mostly walked on gravel roads the rest of the day with crickets jumping everywhere. They were pretty large crickets too. The day was not complete without a few wrong turns and a couple extra miles though. The countryside is very dry with lots of rolling hills and cattle pastures and the forests not as dense as on the other side of the cascades. Tomorrow I should pass lake bonnventure resort and begin heading more south east. From now on I will have to watch my water and stay hydrated since it is very dry on this east side of the state.
