The combination of the heat, exposure, continued ascent, and long water carry made for a tough day! I swear I would have taken a ride home at Gumboot as I could barely set up my tent and could only suck down some pb for dinner. But, the next day had some magical lakes as you shall see. That’s the way of the PCT!
It looks pretty challenging coming out of Castle Crags, but sure beautiful! Great job on the 15 mile day!💪
