PCT Day 29: Mile 496.1 to 517.6

May 31st, 2018

The air was very wet when we woke up, but the tent kept us dry. At the 4 mile mark we had a second round of coffee and some chocolates to prepare for a short climb. We should do that every time. We saw a kangaroo rat sleeping on the trail–maybe it was injured. We crossed the 500 mile mark. That feels like a nice achievement… Almost 1/5 of the way done. We’re back down in the desert tonight at a place called Hiker Town. It’s very nice.
