Made it to 1500 miles!!! NorCal is not my fav. Alot of hills, very hot and bizillon trees (or more I lost count). There is so much ridge walking. But the PCT is never boring, walking along yesterday I came across a bear! He looked at me ten turned and hightailed it down the hill. I hightailed it on up the trail, you know, in case he had friends.
I camped on top of a climb a day ago. Was treated to the most amazing sun setting just behind Mt Shasta, breathtaking!
