Cheeky little #fastpacking trip is GO! Only local but it will give me a chance to test out a bivi bag that I have not used before. #trailrunning A nice micro-adventure to start the weekend😀
Variety of sleep and nap stops going out and back.
Nice bivy spot for a couple hours pre dawn Saturday. Long nap in the grass Saturday afternoon watching clouds. Long bivy under a rock out of the wind storm Saturday night. Long dirt nap Sunday aft reclining on a sun warmed rock.
Spontaneous PCT yo-yo up Mt Gleason from home this weekend. Camped at Messenger flats and came down Sunday (nice to get two big days). Chatted with Ranger Todd at the North Fork station. He said he hasn’t seen anyone in two weeks. That’ll change in a month. #PacificCrestTrail#FastPacking#TrailRunning#Hiking
Significantly more climbing day one (going up the mountain after all) but unrolling that elevation gain day two is always the greater strain.
Big 20 degree f temp fluctuations in the afternoons going in and out of canyon shade. Forecast was low of 28 but it only went to 40. We’ve got 12 hours of usable light now also, pretty much 6-6.
