  • DAY 83 – S’mores

    Although I went to sleep pretty late last night (read 1am !!), I slept really good again. The sun woke me up nicely before my alarm and before taking a quick shower I enjoyed the birds singing for a while. After the shower we all enjoyed great breakfast again – french toast with blueberries and…

  • DAY 82 – Zero in Pinecrest

    Even though my alarm was set to 8am, I got up already at 7:15am and saw thar everyone else was already up. Man people can’t really appreciate the zeros here. I was to the last one to grab some pancakes that Cookies made for us – they were delicious btw. – and afterwards I called…

  • DAY 81 – Slowly saying goodbye to the Sierras

    Me and Stefi planned on leaving by 6:15am. So did the others but well not everyone is as punctual as we are I would say. Since the mosquitoes were still so bad we got going and told the others we would meet them later. Soon Lorenz and Ann caught up and we hiked together. The…

  • DAY 80 – 1 000 miles!

    Well, although we agreed on leaving at 7am, most folks from the other tramily were far from being ready so me and Stefi got going alone. At first we had to cross a river on a log and then we had two climbs ahead of us. It wasn’t that hot yet so it went quite…

  • DAY 79 – I really don’t like mosquitoes

    Today we had an early start again. Since we camped few miles before the others we decided to get up earlier and catch them up. Prez was a little bit slower so me and Stefi went ahead. First we had to do a little climb but I was happy to do it now and not…

  • DAY 78 – Getting out of the valley and a bigger tramily (?)

    The night at The campground was so nice! Not only could I sleep only in my base layers because it was so warm but I did not wake up once at night and slept throughout the whole might till 6:15am! At 7am we caught the bus to the Yosemite village and then the hiker bus…

  • DAY 77 – Yosemite Valley and all the kind people around

    Okay well. We did get up at 5am but did not catch a bus at 8am. It turned out that the bus we were supposed to catch starts running in July. Perfect timing yay. So we decided to start hitching instead. Since we were a group of 10 with me, Stefi, Croco, Ann, Lorenz +…

  • DAY 76 – Donohue Pass

    This night was yet again really cold. Even my water in my water bottle froze but thankfully I wasn’t cold at all and got a pretty decent sleep. We got going around 7:30am because today we were gonna do around 15 miles (24km). Around 10am we stopped by the 1000 Islands Lake that looked very…

  • DAY 75 – More goodbyes

    In the morning we said goodbye to Sienad who decided to quit due to her knee pain and catch the bus and then a flight to Europe to visit her grandma before heading down under. It’s super sad another tramily member has left, I will definitely miss her. After we packed our stuff Chris –…

  • DAY 74 – Mammoth Lakes

    I woke up at a lovely hour – 8am – and all of the other girls were already gone, probably on their phones with their families. They really don’t know how to enjoy their zero day properly! After all the walking sleeping in is something our bodies need to recover. Well, their loss. I took…
