Me and Stefi left the church at 7am and went to the main road to try and get a hitch back to the trail. It did not take long and a couple in a van stopped and took us to the trail. The kindness of some people will still not cease to amaze me. By…

I did not get so much sleep last night because despite having my ear plugs the AC fan was still very loud. I set my alarm to 8:30am thinking I would be long up by then but I actually woke up with that alarm. Guess I was tired. I took a nice shower and then…

This morning we slept a bit longer and left our tentsite by 7am. At 8am we were already by the road and 5min later a guy from San Francisco who was headed to Mount Shasta gave us a ride to Burney. So kind! We got to the World of Life Church where PCT hikers could…

Today is day 100. 100 days that I have been on this insane journey across the US and what a journey it has been. Although we “only” did 22.5 miles today (36km) it feels like we did so much more. I honestly can’t wait to take a zero this weekend and almost a zero tomorrow…

Today we could sleep a bit longer because we “only” had 22 miles (35km) to go that means we slept till 7:15am! Wow. Unheard of on trail. We packed everything and hiked out at 8am. It was already getting hot but at least the terrain is mostly flat and among actual trees that provide some…

What a great sleep I got this night! Not only was the temperature good but there was also no wind or any other sounds whatsoever. We got up before sunrise but by the time we hiked out it has already gotten much brighter. Although we planned on having easy three days before getting to Burney…

So nice to be able to sleep in again. I got up at 8am and felt amazing. The bed was so comfy. Both Judy and Neil have left for work so me and Stefi had the whole house for ourselves. I still can’t believe how welcoming and kind most people – trail angels – are.…

When my alarm went off at 3:30am I felt surprisingly rested. Maybe because I was already halfway up since 3:00am because my hands were a little bit itchy. We packed everything and at 4:15 headed out with our headlamps on because it was still dark. Somehow it was quite nice walking through a burn zone…

Surprisingly despite all the people passing us at night with flashlights I slept quite good. Also woke up without the sore throat yay! This time only my nose was completely stuffed and running and the cough was still there. Could be worse I guess. We packed our stuff and walked shortly through Belden before we…

I woke up feeling pretty much the same as yesterday if not a little bit worse. Great. We also had to get up before 5am because we had to do 8 miles before 8:30am. That’s when a trail angel that Stefi organized would pick us up and give us a ride around a burn zone.…
