After battling the wind the previous day and finding a campsite that was somewhat protected from the wind overnight, I woke up to an amazing sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if I was mostly looking for something out of the wind, part of me also liked this site because it did have a partial view to the east. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I chose wisely for both reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were two water tanks at mile 59 and mile 62 that I knew I had to hit at least one of them.\ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ended up visiting both, but only really needed the second one. Such as life in the desert, you take the water when and where you get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ended up ending today right before another water tank mostly because there were no good sites before that. There was just a lot of ridge line to hike along, which doesn\u2019t always invite flat surfaces to camp on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did have some views from this campsite so nothing to complain about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twelve and a half miles to end on pct mile 68.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
