Day 83 7/5
Mile mark 1353.9-1381.5
Warner Valley Campground to Subway Cave

Saying goodbye to my Dad and hitting the trail again with Salty.

Subway cave.

Salty’s dinner. Healthier and tastier than mine, but it looks vaguely like something I bury in a hole everyday.

Day 82 7/4
Mile mark 1353.9
Zero in Chester

The epic Chester parade.

Pops and Salty waiting for the fireworks.

Not to be out done, nature put on its own show.

Day 81 7/3
Mile mark 1331.3-1353.9
Soldier Creek to Warner Valley Campground
I didn’t get a picture, but I met up with my Dad and got some delicious treats. I also slack packed this part.

Sulfur pond. Was worried someone may have giardia when I first smelled it in the wind.

Day 80 7/2
Mile mark 1300.8-1331.3 (+2.1 for water)
Ridge to Soldier Creek

The half way monument. Not much a of a physical monument, but a monumental moment.

Salty and me procrastinating at the monument before hiking five more miles to finish off the day.

Day 79 7/1
Mile mark 1279.9-1300.8
Clear Creek Campsite to Ridge

Strange little resort bar we hung out at for a bit.

Watching the world cup game, before heading out in the 100 degree heat to climb 6,000ft.

I’ve become a giant, or this is a tiny shopping cart.

Day 74 6/26

Peter Grub Hut to Milton Creek
First logging I’ve seen on the PCT. There were ironically “Leave no trace camping” signs up in this area.

Only flat ground left to camp.
