30.6mi

Notes:

- Woke to a young girl singing in a high pitch while hiking along the trail around 4:30am, it was eerie.

- Amidst allowing a large group of day hikers Pass in the morning, a fly flew directly into my left eye, my greeting of them all turned into a hunched over no eye contact slow wave.

- Met up with Gut Punch and hiked off and on with him. He introduced to me dehydrated whipping cream on Amazon. Apparently mixing it with breakfast essentials makes something that resembles a chocolate milkshake.

- Slept on a rock overlooking a cove of mountains for lunch, woke with that damn fly out of my eye. What a relief.

- Ran up on hiker Catwater from Anchorage, AK (named for pulling a dead cat out of water ) an who I met at the midpoint of the PCT with my old hiking buddies Pounder, Twist, and Ninja and she played a joke on me saying that she knew my uncle.
