PCT day 9 had to wait another day. I decided to spend another day in Julian and take a zero day. So no hiking and just shopping for resupply gear and food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And enjoy more real food and comforts of civilization. A little earlier than I expected to have to have a zero day, but you do what you have to do on the trail to get through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

So after a nice breakfast in Julian, I got a ride to Scissors Crossing, I restarted my hike on the PCT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mostly a big climate start and then some in and outs along the ridge line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I had wanted to get to the water cash at 14 Mile mark came up a little short and only managed to do 12 miles this day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice day overall, sunset was pretty nice, and it was nice to get back on the trail. My feet and legs would beg to differ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
