Every day out here is somewhat the same, but also very different. It should have been a somewhat easy day, if you call 19.5 miles of backpacking easy. But there was a lot of bushwhacking and for the second half of the hike it got very hot.
The goal was to get to Acton, where there is an RV park where they have a large area set-aside for hikers. They also have a pool and showers, which was nice. The downside is that this park is right by the railroad tracks, and the trains just love blowing their horns when they go by, no matter what time of night. I guess they don’t respect hiker midnight. I don’t recall if I explained hiker midnight before, but it is essentially as soon as it gets completely dark, which right now is around 8:15 PM.
Interesting, also, I have hardly seen any PCT hikers on trail the last couple of days, but there are plenty of them at the RV park today. It just goes to show how spread out the hikers get.
Parts of the PCT are very unmaintained right now, not good for clothing or equipment
