The Walk

I had a blast in Yosemite, but it was time to go. I was ready to get back on the PCT and make some miles toward Canada.

We weren’t in a rush, so I hung out in the park looking for decent Wi-Fi or cell service. I even tried to go to the Awhanee hotel and check the Wi-Fi. I saw a young guy with headphones in a sitting area and got the password from him.

He was living in the park and climbing. Surprisingly even the hotel internet wasn’t good. So I gave up. I grabbed lunch at 2 and hopped on a bus to the west side of the park, I needed to hitch over an hour to Tuolumne Meadows.

The buses were running slow and I got to the drop off around 3:30. CJ and high life were at the road with their thumbs out! I thought they had already left.

As soon as I got to the road a car pulled over and gave us a ride. He was headed to Sacramento and went 45 minutes out of his way for us.

As we walked up to the post office, they were shutting their doors. But they stayed open a few extra minutes for us and gave us the packages. Perfect!

I had plenty of food and headed to the trail. The hike with Quest and High life was pretty easy. We hiked 6 miles to Glen Aulin and passed a few powerful falls along the way.

I’m excited for the last section of the Sierras and to see what comes next. Kennedy Meadows is the next stop in a few days. I’ll get rid of my bear can and maybe microspikes! Woo! Can’t wait for a lighter pack 🙂
