PCT, Day 45

Published on 21 June 2024 at 08:00

Wednesday, May 29, 2024, Mile 670,7 to Mile 694,7, 38,27 km, total km 976,31, 11:40 hrs 

 

Long day. I start as usual around 6 a.m. Today there are two long ascents to do, around 1600 m altogether. I take my time. At the end of the first ascent, I have reception and send an email to the company I got my shoes from, asking for a quick replacement.

The landscape changes a lot today again. It is fascinating how everything looks different once I get over a pass. It is a very long day, and my digestive problems get worse since I am not on antibiotics anymore. They did not disappear, but two of the symptoms were not there anymore halfway through the antibiotics.
Tomorrow I will get to Kennedy Meadows. It is not a town, but a place where I could get reception and see where the next gastroenterologist would be. I guess it will be far. I am in the middle of nowhere.

After a long last ascent, a long descent follows. It is very hot today, and I am longing to get to the campsite. I arrive just before 6:00 p.m. Finally. It was a 38 km day. Tomorrow will be much less.
