Day 12: Miles 109 to 122 and lots of elevation

I slept really great. It was a wonderful day – hiked with fish head, Jess and Kate, made it 13 miles and camped in the most epic spot on a mountain at 1500m. It was exhausting but I feel strong on the uphills. Really glad Kate is joining and made it to the camp side.

I realized I’m a bit of a purist when it comes to the trail – I don’t want to skip any Parts of the trail unless I absolutely have to. Some people skipped the next section around San Jacinto, that’s sad cause we only just reunited again yesterday. But you gotta hike ur own hike. So Kate and I will go on together.

Highlight today: The river crossings, the sand and the forest and then climbing up into the mountains, the company and the sunset. 🫶
