Day 122

Day 123 (pct 13): 31 miles

I woke up at 4 and got moving to get into wrightwood before it got too hot. I ended up moving faster than usual uphill cause another person was hiking with me. I was pulling him up the mountain and he was pushing me so we moved pretty fast.

When I got into town I arranged a ride around a fire closure on trail and got a large pizza from mile high pizza. Mistakes were made. This pizza was really good, but it was absolutely overloaded with meat. I ended up eating like 60% and packing out the rest. The pizza won this battle

I hung out in town for about 4 hours before I got my ride but it was pretty cool. I got to meet a lot of cool hikers. At times like that it make me wish I would be going a normal pace and consistently hanging out with these cool people but I gotta do what I gotta do. #Stayhungry


After passing by the fire closure I did about 9 more miles to camp. Now this area allegedly has a decent amount of poodle dog bush (the Cali version of poison ivy or poison oak) which is not chill. A lot of the trail is overgrown here too so I just gotta hope for the best.

May is mental health awareness month. Please consider donating to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention at the link in my bio!
