So, instead of settling into camp after 16 miles or so, I pushed forward to Burney Mountain Guest Ranch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This put my mileage hkjed ON the pct at 17.4 miles. A new record for me during this long through hike this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But most importantly, the arch gave me: A real dinner, a shower, Coca-Cola, and a bed to sleep in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the next section doesn\u2019t have a lot of options for resupplying or staying off trail for a rest, I decided that a zero day was called for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was very much appreciated by my feet and legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\nAny resemblance to me and this statue is purely a coincidence.. \ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
