PCT Day 52 - Zero On Trail

Today is Thursday, and we spent our day at the Walker Pass Campground where tomorrow (Friday) we will wake early and catch a bus to Bakersfield CA and begin our journey to Florida.

The day was spent at the picnic area with many Trail Angels such as Holly and Hobo Joe, and gobs of Hiker Trash. We had a blast reminiscing of the last 651 miles, and seeing hikers we haven't seen in many days, and making new friends too.

Joe finally talked me into cowboy camping with him, and it was amazing. The night sky is full of such beauty as well- we saw many shooting stars, and satellites crawl across the blackness, planets and even the Milky Way.
