PCT 2022| CALIFORNIA | DAY 16 Paradise Valley Cafe to mm159.7
Miles Hiked: 9.7 miles
Elevation: 2311 ft ascent | 783 ft descent
The next day was back to hiking! I got a ride to PVC from a local EMT, picked up my resupply (most of which went to the hiker box), and had breakfast. I saw Finja and James again—headed to Idyllwild (haven’t seen them since Julian). Ducky and Robin arrived while I sorted through my box. I ended up leaving for trail around noon.
Getting back on trail after two zeros…rough. I know I’ll do it again, but…rough. Uphill, steep down/up for water at Tunnel Spring, and camp in a sheltered group campsite. The next few days call for wind, so finding a place to set up that won’t feel like I’m getting thrown around in my tent is a must.
