Hiking in the Desert – Once Again

I woke up at 4:40 AM. It was a mad scramble to close up camp and get back on the trail. Today, I’ll be hiking in the desert – once again.

More PCT Miles Today: I had 4 liters of water and a big climb right at the start. And as if that weren’t enough, another big climb came later in the morning.

Tehachapi & Sure Stay Best Western

I stuck out my thumb to hitchhike to the Sure Stay Best Western hotel. I got picked up immediately by a trail angel who first took me on a tour of the town.

Approaching Tehachapi

Something I ate at Hiker Town bothered me all day, and then it got worse last night. Fortunately, I am approaching Tehachapi, and I’ll recover in a hotel room.
