  • DAY 73 – Another cold night

    As predicted this night ended up being really really cold. Not only we put our water filters in our quilts but also all of our electronics. We got up around 6am and rather unwillingly left our warm quilts and got going at around 6:45am. It was around 13 miles (20.8km) to get to the trailhead…

  • DAY 72 – Silver Pass

    Since we were going to catch a ferry at 9am to get back on trail from VVR, I slept till 7:15am like a queen! My body deserved that and honestly it was a great sleep. Afterwards I packed my stuff, got something for breakfast and then we hopped on the boat that took us across…

  • DAY 71 – Bear creek

    On today’s menu we had another dangerous river crossing ahead of us – the Bear Creek. It was also the first thing in the morning we had to do. Not only it was early (6:30am) but last night I did not sleep exceptionally great because at one point I got super warm and started stretching…

  • DAY 70 – Evolution creek

    Day 70! 70 days on the Pacific Crest Trail already. Wow. It doesn’t even feel that long to be honest and we are not even halfway through though the rest after the Sierras will go by much faster. What an accomplishment already! This morning we had one of the top 3 most dangerous river crossings…

  • DAY 69 – Muir Pass

    This night I slept really well again! Even though it was quite cold I slept like a baby throughout the whole night in my warm quilt – wonderful. Before going back on trail I messed my sister via Garmin satellite communicator because today is my niece’s birthday! She is turning four years old already. Damn…

  • DAY 68 – Mather Pass

    Today we had an early start since Mather Pass (3 686m) is known for its sketchy south side. We only had a mile (1,6km) till the summit and it all went really smoothly. On the other side we put micro spikes on but honestly I found Glen Pass a bit steeper compared to this one.…

  • DAY 67 – Pinchot Pass

    This night I slept pretty good again although once when I woke up at night to go to pee I was a little bit disoriented at first. It happened to me the night before as well but I guess that’s normal since we are at a different place every night. When we got up everyone…

  • DAY 66 – Glen Pass

    I woke up quite rested though few more hours would be great. We only had a mile (1,6km) left to the Glen Pass (3 644m) but that mile felt like forever. One hour later we were finally standing at the top. There were beautiful views all around us with some turquoise lakes on the bottom.…

  • DAY 65 – Following rules

    After last fun night we all “slept in” and woke up at 8am. We had to check out by 11am so we had plenty of time to pack everything, take a shower and bring our packages to the post office. I also called my family again, especially since it was Monty’s birthday today. My boy…

  • DAY 64 – Zero day in Bishop

    Well since it was a zero day I decided to set my alarm to 8am and get some sleep in. However , when I woke up, the girls were already gone. They went to do their laundry at 7:30am (!). Nevermind, at least I had our room to myself. I made a coffee and called…
