Mile 752 to 752.5 – one half mile total hiked on PCT

Well, the night at chicken Spring Lake was great, I had been thinking about going down to Lone Pine via Cottonwood pass to get some equipment repaired and replaced that I didn’t think would last too much longer.

Also getting us throughout a day wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. 🤣

But I woke up enjoyed the sunset and breakfast, then pack my tent and start it up the trail towards rock Creek.

Stop about half mile up to enjoy the view and to celebrate my 60th birthday. 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

After that, I thought about my options.

In the end, I decided to reverse my course and go down to horseshoe Meadows via Cottonwood pass. Not ideal, since it’ll be a climb up to get back to the trail.

Once I got down to horseshoe Meadows, I managed to get out a ride pretty quickly.

I celebrated getting to Lone pine by going to McDonald’s. 🤣

Then I got a hotel, cooled off in the pool, heated up in the hot tub, and then did some shopping to repair and replace my equipment that was needed.

Hopefully, I will not be in lone pine too long and and I’ll have to reschedule my Onion Valley resupply (hopefully).
