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.
