July 26 (Day 86)

Peavine Creek to CS1463.5(1430.3 to 1463.5)

Daily miles: 33.3

Didn’t mean to walk all this way today, but there’s no water in these hills, no flat ground to lay my head on, and too many hikers for the limited spots available.  So I hiked until almost 9, and found a sweet little spot on a ridge just in time to see the last of the sunset colors.

But before that…

Mt. Shasta getting closer
Hazy ridge, no water, temperature over 100 degrees
Sunset, a water source, hiking deep into the evening until the sun goes out for good
