PCT Day 13: Home to Lane County

Date: Aug. 3 Location: Upper Rosary Lake, north of Odell Lake off Highway 58. Elev. 5,850 ft. Days hiked: 13 Days left on first segment: 2 Miles hiked today: 22 Miles hiked total: 216 Avg. Per day. 16.4 Percent of journey completed: 43.4%

Worn to the bone tonight after 25 miles (counting getting to and from Shady Cove Resort at Odell Lake and back on trail), the final three uphill to Rosary Lakes. But first day in a week without significant trail snow.

Beautiful trail from Summit Lake (see photo). Lots of crystal clear streams and great views of Diamond Peak. Lunch-time swim in Diamond View Lake. Felt great and I stink a little less.

Still hiking with Cisco, 60, and Roadrunner, 53, a couple who have been on the trail for seven weeks. Mucho fun.

So much progress we’re hoping to get to Elk Lake, our midway destination, Friday night instead of Saturday. Miss The Fam! Meanwhile, great to be back in Lane County.

I would like to fly over the Acropolis of Athens. I would fly over there because it is very cool how it is still standing up since the 5th century B.C.E

I would like to fly over Egypt whenever the pyramids were being built. I would like to fly over this because it is a mystery of how they were built.

I would like to fly over Apollo 11 because I think it would be cool to see the moon landing.

I would fly over D-day because it is such an important part of World War II and it is a really cool event. I think it is a cool event because there were so many planes, boats, soldiers and tanks.

One historical event I would fly over is World War II because I think it would be interesting to see all of the people who fought in the hard time.

I would fly over WW1 because it would be interesting to see what kind of equipment they used and how the countries lined up.
