PCT Day 6 - Crest

This morning started off with the most scenic view we've had from Campo (It seems as though each day surpasses the last, in the terms of beauty). Looking East from our camp site we could see the Anza Borrego desert and beyoond, the morning was clear and we could see snow capped mountains that may be more than 80 miles away. The Trail earned its middle name today as the entire 13 miles was on the Crest of 4 or 5 mountains. The views today from the crest were breath taking! Its hard to believe everything we see is contained in only one state. Breath taking views is not the only feature of the crest however, howling, gusty winds greeted us in the morning and only relented a few times throughout the day. Madelyn and I both wore our wind jackets all day and she even wore a bandanna around her face to protect her from the wind. Thankfully for us the high winds and cool temps were coupled with plentiful sunshine. The contrast between the Sun and wind today meant we were never too cold or too hot. Asides from the views that get better each day, we also hit a milestone; 50 miles! As we were scurrying along a particular windy section with our heads down we managed to see the number " 5 0 " along the East side of the trail. We've hiked 50 miles in 6 days! We did 13.5 miles today, our feet and legs are a little tender right now but a good night sleep will do us wonders.
