Today’s PCT miles were exactly 26.2, just a coincidence that it happened to be exactly marathon distance. I have also now completed 10% of the trail. There were ups and downs, like every day, but, overall, today had the easiest hiking, excluding the fact that it was 26.2 miles. I am really looking forward to getting in to Big Bear today so I can, hopefully, get my cellular service issues squared away. Also, I am looking forward to a shower, a regular bed, and a roof over my head.
The end of the day challenge was trying to get a ride from where the trail meets Highway 18 into the town of Big Bear Lake, about 8 miles away from my hotel. Just like in Idyllwild, the trail provided. Another hiker who was already waiting had called a local for a ride, and there was room for me. I was the last stop for the driver, and the other hikers had already paid the driver enough money that he told me I didn’t need to pay anything.
Not many pics today, was just cranking the miles to get to town.
