I have less than 6 miles on today’s walk. The northern California is beautiful so far, but it is not what can not come back. Where the desert and Sierra had fantastic views at least every mile, northern California is walking through the trees and then walking through meadows. From the clear of the meadows, you can see more trees. It is really beautiful in its own way, but it does not have the ooh factor, AW, wow of the first thousand miles more or less of the path. That said, although I am climbing right now, the path tends to roll quite well with a few rises longer than a mile or two, and few descents of steep rock.
Today, I am planning an «easy» from 21 to 22 miles. Yesterday, even with a long break in Donner Ski Ranch, I still got 23 years old and I had a relaxing night. There is no secondary search today, but I will take my usual water filtering breaks of 20 minutes every 5 to 7 miles.
I have not paid so much attention to PCT hikers around me in recent days, because there have been many hikers that are not PCT on the road. They are summer vacations, and I hope that is the standard until the end of the path. That said, it seems that the multitude of PCT is thinning. There is only one handful of hikers who know they are 5 miles from me right now. I suppose that falling in the city of Sierra Tomorrow will be a good caliber of how many hikers there are. I have been walking, a little fast, but not super fast, and I have probably found myself in a little anti-bubbles where the quick hikers with whom I am very going forward, and the slower hikers are barely behind me. Maybe one day the PCT permit includes a small GPS responder that will tell you where the hikers are on the road. Not with personal name or information, that would be creepy, but only a small graph that shows where the bubble is.
