we went down to the road and setup camp. We’re not supposed to be here, so I hope no cop comes by. It was a long day, but the trail magic and pizza helped.
We were on our way to Camp Glenwood for the night. Just before the camp, we crossed the 400 PCT miles mark. Only 300 more miles to Kennedy Meadows.
Mount Baden-Powell is 9,400 feet in elevation. There is snow, so spikes, navigation skills and mountaineering skills are necessary.
Steve Kevin joined us on a partial climb up Mount Baden-Powell. It will be three of us making the summit tomorrow. At 3 PM, we reached our campsite.
Today is a zero day at the Acorn Cabins. No hiking today. Mike, my roommate, left early to go to town while I hung around the cabin.
Mike and I were on our way by 6:30. I met Mike yesterday. He is going to share the Acorn Cabin with me in Wrightwood. The target today is highway 2.
It was a rough day. The trail went up the entire way from 3,566 feet where I camped last night to today’s elevation – a 4,500 foot elevation gain.
The Cajon Pass Mc Donald’s was just over 5 miles, and I was set on having a breakfast sandwich and some of that lawsuit causing hot liquid in the form of tea.
The trail for the better part of the day went around Silverwood Lake. It’s a beautiful lake with plenty of boat traffic.
