Day 120

Day 120

Day 120 (pct 10): 42 miles

I’ve been hitting the slopes too much lately. I mean I’ve slept on a slope too often recently. I had another night of poor sleep cause I was trying to fight gravity while sleeping and ended up waking up completely off my ground cloth.

The hiking was pretty nice today. It wasn’t constant uphill but it was still at pretty high elevation so the temperature was a little cooler and there were actually trees for shade most of the day.

I got a hitch into Big Bear to resupply by a Spanish speaking mother and daughter (who was practicing for her driving test). I don’t know what it is, but whenever people are talking in a language you don’t understand, you just always assume they’re talking bad about you. Maybe I’ve just seen took many movies. Although they very well might’ve been talking about how bad I smelled.

The best language comedy of all time is Annyong on Arrested Development. Iykyk

Late in the day I linked up with Hobbs, Vicki, and goose and camped with them and a nice squad. After about an hour of sleeping I woke up to people saying “what’s going on? What is that?” I thought something must’ve stumbled into our camp but then I looked up and there was a light show of tons of lights in the sky moving in a perfect line in the same direction. I was preparing to fight the alien invasion when someone said it was starlink.

Song of the day: indestructible-disturbed

About Me

I'm from rural Ohio and had never camped or backpacked until 2018. Just 3 years later I completed a Calendar Year Triple Crown as my first thru hiking experience and now have ~15,000 miles of backpacking under my trail runners.
