Momentum Mori

PCT 2018 Day 2, April 24, Tuesday.

Start mile 20 Lake Morena Campground

End Burnt Ranch Campground, mile 41.5

Miles walked: 21.5

Challenging long climbs today, now at 6000 feet. Boulders thinning out, shrubs thick and thriving, and now in forest at the campground. In this area within the Laguna Mountain Recreation Area, camping must be in a campground. No sites are reserved for PCT, but groups of up to 8 people rent sites together. I ended walking just past 4PM because the next campground was a few miles away. I did try taking a break today around 1PM to escape the sun. Starting back again, my body had stiffened up.

Finished audiobook Fatal Flight– The True Story of Britain’s Las Great Airship by Bill Hammack.
