PCT SOBO DAY 39 – The floor is Lava!

Day 39

Home: Santiam Pass Trailhead, Mile 653.2

END: Dirt Road, Mile 670.2

Walked miles: 17 miles

Back on the way! After grabbing the Brunch in Bend, the janitor took me back to Santiam Pass for another section. It was approximately 1:30 when I started walking, so the day was already quite warm. The path was sandy and flat, perfect to return to the path after 2 zero days.

Approximately 3.5 miles, I arrived at a road crossing and a magic of trails! When I looked more closely who was already there, I recognized the sun! We had reached each other. It turns out that it would be short duration since it stopped at Big Lake Youth Camp and I was going a little further. We updated the hot dogs and the soft drinks that were being treated in the magic of the path.

There was also a group of other people on the Magic path, including a pair of suns and even more nobles. Peach, a prolific hiker, was the host of the path of the path and even brought his masseuse friend to massage. It was amazing! Although I wanted to make a good amount of miles today, I ended up staying for at least an hour before moving forward.

Most of the hiking day was passed in semi burned forest. The path was quite cold and irremediable. However, I loved the views through the trees.

My last miles were along a lava walk that people had warned me. Now it was the night, so the sun was not too intense. While the loose rocks were a bit annoying to stumble, I found that the whole area fascinated. I was walking through an area that had been hot, molten lava in a moment! The landscape was open and I could see lava caves and tunnels from the path. Although the light was fading quickly, I dropped my backpack to explore a blue fire that contained a pair of the great lava format. It’s worth it!

I only had a couple of miles to my camp, which had a cache of water well necessary. While walking, the sun could and the moon stood. The sky went from dark to dark just when I arrived at the camp. With the help of my lighthouse, I installed my store and ate my dinner. Before realizing, I was deeply asleep.

And that is a day in the life of a PCT Sobo hiker!
