Today was another long, hot march. This one had no natural water resources, they’re all dried up. Luckily, there are very kind people that provide large amounts of water to hikers. Otherwise, I don’t know how hikers that start in the hot part of the season, like those of us who started in mid May, could realistically do this hike. So today was basically starting near one large tank and stopping just several miles past another. Then it will be a short hike to the Paradise Valley Café in the morning for breakfast and to get food and water from there.

Mike’s Place Water Tanks.
Mary’s Place, one of those quaint, interesting places along the PCT. She keeps a 500 gallon tank of water for hikers, shaded benches, for sitting, and a little decoration. It’s pretty nice.
Wildflowers a few miles from Paradise Valley Café.
