pct day 22 - 05/27/13

i ended up getting a bit of a late start from the anderson's due to the delicious pancakes being served, but ended up on the trail by 08:15. as i made it to the first water cache in my day i sat and had lunch with a few fellow hikers. as i was looking ahead and discussing where to stop for the evening a fellow hiker jokingly suggested hikertown, another trail angel stop on the pct. i say jokingly because he thought it was too far at 40 miles. so did i and laughed along with him.

500 miles! here is the pic . . . (i personally like my shadow in the lower left, lol)



i cruised along the rest of my day and got to a surprise water cache at mile 506 supplied by none other than cartwheel! that dude rocks! cartwheel, if you are reading, that was the best placed water cache on the trail thus far, bar none. the water in this area is not appealing at all (like stagnant collected rain water - yummy!). thanx cartwheel! as i sat and rehydrated myself i thought, oh why not? so at 17:00 i took off for another 11 miles and ended up hiking all the way to hikertown! here is a picture of the sunset along my way . . .



40 miles from the anderson's to hikertown. 518 miles total.
